Real Madrid released a video of Cristiano Ronaldo's face cut on Monday, intimating it could have been much worse
Ronaldo was sliced extremely close to his left eye by a Deportivo La Coruna defender's boot while he was scoring in Madrid's 7-1 La Liga win on Sunday.
Ronaldo was diving to head in the ball from near the penalty spot for his second goal when Fabian Schar tried to hit the ball and ended up striking Ronaldo's face with his right boot.
Doctors attended to the Portuguese star but they could not contain the blood, and Ronaldo had to leave the game with about five minutes left, leaving Madrid to see out the game 10 men.
