Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly been hit on the head by a lighter thrown from the crowd while heading to the dressing room at half-time in his side's Copa del Rey semi-final against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.
Ronaldo scored twice from the penalty spot as the Spanish champions sealed their place in the Copa del Rey final with a 2-0 win (5-0 on aggregate) over holders Atletico Madrid.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the Portuguese doubled his tally nine minutes later from another penalty as this time Gareth Bale was felled by Emiliano Insua and his eventful evening continued after moments later, he was then hit by a lighter thrown by the Atletico fans as the players headed to the dressing rooms at half-time.
However, the report mentioned that the Ballon d'Or winner was fit to continue at the start of the second-half before being substituted late on.
Real will face either Barcelona or Real Sociedad in the final on April 19 with Barca holding a 2-0 advantage heading into the second leg of their semi-final on Wednesday, the report added.
