Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo was left covered in blood after a nasty collision with Czech Republic goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik on Saturday night.
The Manchester United forward went down in a heap after the mid-air collision in the 13th minute of the Nations League clash.
He was left bloodied, bruised and dazed on the turf.
Ronaldo required medical treatment on the pitch but later returned with a bandage on his nose.
And he was soon back in the thick of the action by conceding a penalty for a handball, although Patrik Schick missed from the spot.
Portugal ran out 4-0 winners to set up a showdown at home to Spain on Tuesday.
Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot bagged a brace either side of a Bruno Fernandes strike.
Ronaldo's flick on from a corner was prodded home by Liverpool's Diogo Jota for the fourth late on.
The 2019 winners took full advantage of Spain's loss to Switzerland to move two points clear at the top of Group A2.
Portugal must avoid defeat in their final group match against Spain on Tuesday to reach the semi-finals.

I just love Cristiano's passion for his country. He almost had his nose broken tonight and was covered in blood. That didn't stop him from playing full game and he provided an assist too. People will always try to bring him down, but he doesn't need to prove anything more in this game. Saw many people laugh at his face injury tonight and it was disgusting. ............ Almost 38 years old and he still wants to play at the highest levels. Some days ago he confirmed that he won't retire from his national team after the World Cup 2022. He wants to play the Euros in 2024 too. That tells everything about him and his unmatched mentality. Enjoy every game of this man and stop hating on him or trying to make fun of him on every mistake he makes and will make in the near future. You can't fool time. Age catches up. He isn't 20 anymore. People need to understand this.ππ Always with you till the ENDππ΅πΉπͺπ

It is worth noting that CR7 jumped as high as the Goal Keeper managed to reach with his hands. The age might have slowed him down a little, but given a chance....he is still one HELL OF A PLAYER!

That's the problem sometimes isn't! He wants to play at the highest level, but he couldn't do that anymore. Sometimes the best thing to do for the goodness of the team is to step down for the next generation or atleast accept a bench role. It's not Ronaldo is the only good player for Portugal, they actually have a very good squad. And players like Rafael leao and Andre silva can easily replace him right now! One should always think what's better for the team instead of their own good.

You are just a confused human being, if he scored hattrick tonight, you will be saying a 38 years old player scored hattrick and you will be boasting with it but if he lose, you will make excuse that he is old, age is not a barrier in football, there are 17 yrs old boy that are doing wonders and there is 40 yrs old players that are still playing beautiful games, modric is 37 tooβ¦if you are pass your prime and canβt produce anymore just retire and stop being a liability to your team and country, I donβt hate Ronaldo but stop giving stupid excuses anytime he doesnβt score
