Twitter reacts to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Euro 2016 final
Capturing the Euros in enemy territory is no mean feat. But doing it with your best player sidelined is something else.
Sidelined, Ronaldo did everything within his earthly power to will his team to victory.
Here’s how twitter reacted to his final.
Sadness and objectivity was one angle.
Twitter: No matter your opinion on Cristiano Ronaldo, gut-wrenching to see him in tears on the pitch with that injury. Such a sad sight. #POR (@JPW_NBCSports)
Others decided the final was over.
Twitter: Cristiano Ronaldo with a potential injury substitution.If he does go off,Portugal’s chances of winning this final will be 0%. (@NavinRB)
Twitter users started to gain medical degrees by the second.

People started to notice Ronaldo’s new role as the game progressed.

Twitter: You can kick him…
You can insult him…
But you just can’t stop Cristiano Ronaldo winning
