Ahead of the UEFA Champions League Finals in Kiev, Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo was training for the important game. But then hitting the ball on the back of the net, Ronaldo’s wayward strike headed to the media section and hurt a cameraman. The journalist working for the Spanish language American TV station developed a cut just above his right eye and later got stitches.
Ron apologized for the damage but guilt engulfed him. Later the Portugal international decided to give away his training jacket to make up for the damage. The official page of Champions League shared the video of the entire act. They captioned the video, “Hit by a @cristiano shot... But the four-time #UCLfinal winner makes up for it! Ronaldo = 👏👏👏@realmadrid.”

In fact, once the Real Madrid star visited a restaurant to sip some tea.
