Real Madrid have released treatment room footage from shortly after Cristiano Ronaldo left the pitch with a head wound during Sunday’s 7-1 win over Deportivo La Coruna.
Ronaldo scored twice in the comfortable victory but was caught in the face by the boot of Fabian Schar in netting his second – Madrid’s sixth – and walked from the field covered in blood, assessing the damage on a mobile phone.
Madrid have now shared a video of Ronaldo being cleaned up in the immediate aftermath of the injury, showing the laceration occurred worryingly close to the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s eye.
Ronaldo required stitches, and you can check out the wound pre-treatment here…
