Imagine you are a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, and you are sitting behind a goal at which he is about to shoot a penalty. Because you are a fan, you know that penalties are his jam, there is arguably no better penalty taker in the world. So a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty should be as sure a bet as there is to see your hero succeed; you are almost guaranteed to get the classic Ronaldo jump-spin celebration. You are probably stoked.
And then, in the case of this fan, you are really not. In this case, you get hit in the face by that Cristiano Ronaldo penalty.
This took place during Real Madrid’s recent game against Sevilla. Madrid won 4-0, so I seriously doubt many people will remember Ronaldo missing this penalty, unless you are the chick that got hit by it.
Sarah Arcand says she got a black eye from the whole ordeal; a small price to pay for 15 seconds of internet fame. I bet she got a lot of followers from this. On what, I’m not sure.
