Newcastle United star reacts - Cristiano Ronaldo suspended after reckless challenge.
The Portugal player will miss Monday’s European Championship qualifier against Luxembourg.Most neutrals thinking Cristiano Ronaldo very very lucky not to pick up a red card for the studs first unnecessary lunge after he wasted a great chance to score.
He did pick up a yellow card though, his third in five Euro qualifying group matches, which means he is suspended for tonight’s game against Luxembourg. Martin Dubravka fortunate to escape serious injury after the reckless challenge from Cristiano Ronaldo The Newcastle United keeper has now told the media how he saw the incident, very generous I think with regard to the lunge from Cristiano Ronaldo. Dubraka asked where the Portugal player ended up making contact:“I just closed my eyes and prayed that Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn’t hit me in the face as well.“These are situations when the goalkeeper closes his eyes and tries only to block the shot.
As Martin Dubraka indicates, there are occasions where a striker can be fairly said to have had to go for the ball. However, this wasn’t one of them. Cristiano Ronaldo had no chance of getting to the ball by the time he lunged studs first, only luck meaning he didn’t make contact with Dubravka’s face by the smallest of margins.
