He basically kicked him.
This is Real and they are not going to take well to having their best players potentially injured in pre season.
Expect that to be the last big name club that goes to rovers for a pre season game.
I saw a few clips on the news. I think it was very shortsighted of the rovers player(s) to basically hack Ronaldo down from a tackle from behind. He basically kicked him.

Shouldnt Madrid have worn their away strip? Dont see why Rovers should have changed.
Madrid were the paymasters last night so it made sense. Rovers were not in a position to make any demands. They also brought over the ball that is used in the Spanish league.

Shamrock Rovers who were already half way through its own league and who were fitter than them.
Personally I dont care about Ronaldo, or soccer in general. But from Reals point of view they wouldn't want to risk a 80m investment getting injured in a meaningless pre season game. And having players doing sliding tackles from behind won't have gone down well with Real.
Real might be saying that they are happy with the game in the press releases but I would be very suprised to see them come back or any other decent team going there for a pre seasons game.
I would say its obvious that Madrid didn't come to Ireland for the weather, or the massive soccer fan base.
I think they were attracted by 2 things - the facilities on offer at Carton House Hotel and the fact that they would get less attention if they were in some other country, and most importantly a hefty pile of cash for the appearance.
The tickets were €60 each - and 10,900 people were at the game. Assuming that there were quite a few freebies handed out, I'm guessing the game still raised €600k in gate receipts. Rovers got €30k, and I'm guessing Madrid and Platinum One split the rest, with Madrid getting the vast majority of it.
It will pay the wages for a few days anyway.
