“Nevertheless, we always have to be respectful, patient, and set the example for all the youngsters who love the beautiful game.

The schoolboy’s mother also slammed Ronaldo in the media after the incident, claiming that her son had suffered a bruised hand.

Sarah Kelly said: “We were right by the tunnel where they came walking past my son was there videoing them all. And then he lowered his phone because Ronaldo had pulled down his sock and his leg was bleeding.
