Ronaldo was young, already very good, very personal but very emotional. He was a little pissed that we were beating them and at the end of the match he put a dustpan in me. He had taken a red card, had therefore returned to the locker room, except that we were in the same hotel as the Portuguese. In the evening, I hear a knock on my door and it’s Ronaldo who comes to apologize and ask me for my shirt. Then there was this photo that circulated a lot on social networks.9 years later, the two men faced off again, this time in the Champions League Round of 16 between OL and Real Madrid (4-1 aggregate score for the people of Madrid).
