Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo showed it’s not all about him by sticking up for a Japanese boy who was being laughed at by an audience at a Q&A.
The youngster was asking the former Manchester United ace various questions in Portuguese as the crowds watched on sniggering at his attempts.
But Ronaldo was quick to jump to the defence of the boy who was doing his best to communicate in the Ballon d’Or winner’s native tongue.
