MANCHESTER, UK — Cristiano Ronaldo has apologized for what he described as “bloodshed” after Manchester United lost 1-0 to Everton in the Premier League on Saturday.
A video circulating on social media shows Ronaldo tapping a supporter’s cellphone before it falls to the ground as he exits the Goodison Park pitch.
“I would like to apologize for my gesture today and if possible I would like to invite this supporter to come and watch a Manchester United game at Old Trafford,” CR7 said in an Instagram post.
Ronaldo added that “it’s never easy to manage your emotions in such difficult circumstances as the ones you are going through”.
“However, we must always be respectful, patient and set an example for all the youngest who love ‘the beautiful game’,” he said.
