Cristiano Ronaldo showed his exasperation at a refereeing mistake which saw his seemingly legitimate Portugal goal disallowed against Serbia in Belgrade by throwing his captain's armband to the floor, and the armband has since raised 64,000 euros.
Picked up by a local firefighter, Djordje Vukicevic, in the Serbian stadium, the armband has been auctioned and has raised money which will be used to fund the treatment of a six-month old Serbian boy who suffers from spinal muscular atrophy.
"The humanitarian auction for Cristiano Ronaldo's armband has just ended at the brilliant figure of 7.5 million dinars," Jovan Simic, the founder of the 'Together for Life' charity, explained on Twitter.
The armband was thrown to the ground as Ronaldo saw a shot which appeared to cross the line not be given, and there was no VAR technology in use in the World Cup qualifiers to correct the mistake.
The match finished 2-2 and Ronaldo would then receive a yellow card for his quite forceful protests towards the match official.

FELIPE MELO: βHow can people criticize Ronaldo? We are talking about a Champion, a legend, not only for Juve but for World Football. Cristiano is history. You cannot doubt someone like him. Serie A is lucky to have him and whoever criticizes him should wash their mouth."

it's sad that there are people rich enough to pay for the sick child but they bought an arm band why not just giving the money direct to the sick child

dude stop using 'if not He(Messi)'!.. He hasn't right then that's all... Don't use if he was like he should have done this and that, bla, bla.... After all it's the Record that will remain forever. And you know who holds the most Record in Football history. And let me Remind you CR7 was awarded the Best Player of the Century(player of this era) why not Messi?...In this era many are good He is the best. The record breaker the record holder. presently it's just that he is Getting old (36 is not fun) but still try his best to never disappoint us. The past Player they were may be more good player than Messi and Ronaldo but they are not known because they haven't made any Record (legacy)... the fact is CR7 holds the most Records in Football History.

Maybe the letter "C" is the lucky one. Cristiano plus Captain armband is equal to Cash.

You are also saying wrong. Thanks for not those who criticised. thanks for him who picked that badge up and took it for charity. This is not only because of badge or fame of Ronaldo but also of that man's wisdom and heart of loving people.

even if cr7 throw away used condom fans will still buy it... tht is the nature of fans. Like Cr7 himself, his fans r approving the very act of throwing aemband as a good gesture! fanatics will always follow their master.
