The story of the barbaric Cristiano Ronaldo who almost broke the neck of a Real Madrid player. Talking about the figure of Cristiano Ronaldo cannot be separated from goals, achievements, trophies, and humanity.
Apart from that, Ronaldo has never been separated from his extraordinary rivalry with Lionel Messi. However, many people forget that Cristiano Ronaldo has an unstoppable ambitious attitude. His ambition is to give his best and win every match he plays.
Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for Cristiano Ronaldo’s ambition to endanger his teammates or even opponents. One of Cristiano Ronaldo’s ambitious moments was during the 2014 Copa Del Rey semi-final second leg match against Atletico Madrid.
Competing at the Vicente Calderon, Wednesday 12 February 2014, Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid, who are leading 3-0 on aggregate, have the ambition to win the match and advance to the final. The fierceness of the match that night suddenly caused the tension in the match to heat up.
Ronaldo, who was very ambitious to win, played enthusiastically. Towards the end of the first half, an incident occurred. The incident started with Real Madrid trying to carry out an attack by sending a cross.
Atletico’s young player, Javier Manquillo, ran and jumped to intercept the pass. But on the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo also did the same thing to get the ball.
A collision between the two players could not be avoided. However, because Cristiano Ronaldo’s body is bigger, Javier Manquillo couldn’t hold Ronaldo.
Javier Manquillo, who was only 19 years old at that time, bounced and fell. Unfortunately, Javier Manquillo’s falling position was very dangerous. When he fell, the part of his body that landed first was his head. No wonder, immediately, Javier Manquillo immediately collapsed and had to be taken to hospital.
Based on the examination, Javier Manquillo was confirmed to be suffering from whiplash. However, the neurological examination showed that the results were normal. The match that night ended with a score of 2-0 in favour of Real Madrid. However, the victory was a mixed bag for Cristiano Ronaldo who almost broke the neck of an Atletico Madrid player.
