The internet won after a moth landed on Cristiano Ronaldo's tears
Cristiano Ronaldo went down with a knee injury early in the game, struggling to stay on the field for the remainder of Portugal's victory over France. As he fell to the ground after one of the few times he tried to play through the pain, a moth landed on his face and the internet went nuts over it.
Imagine if the moth swallowed one of Ronaldo's tears he could become the greatest player in insect history x
