Wrapped up in controversy, this is how Cristiano Ronaldo finds himself. It turns out that the fan whose phone was smashed by the Portuguese star, after Manchester United’s defeat at Everton’s, was a boy from 14 years old suffering from autism and dyspraxia. Although he apologized, the player may have committed a crime.
The newspaper Liverpool ECHO reported that the Merseyside Police is investigating the case and has already contacted the two teams . “Investigations are underway. The officers are reviewing the images from the security cameras to establish if a crime has been committed,” said a spokesman for the police authorities.

“After the 90 minutes, the Manchester United players began to walk. We were in Park End, so we were right next to the tunnel that they were walking through. My son was there, recording them all. He filmed all the United players walking”, began Sarah Kelly, mother of young Jake Harding.
According to Sarah’s story, Jake put the phone down because Ronaldo had dropped his stocking and his leg was bleeding. “He put the phone down to see what he was, he didn’t even speak. Ronaldo just walked by, in a terrible temper, and grabbed the phone out of my son’s hand and kept walking,” he explained.
The woman shared some photos showing the bruises that CR7 caused the young fan, who was left in shock: “(He) was crying, he was shocked. Jacob was in complete shock, he is autistic. He is really upset about this, and it completely discourages him from ever attending a game again.”
This is the first soccer game he has been to and this has happened. We had an absolutely brilliant day until those last few seconds when they came off the field. He completely ruined the day and left a bad taste in our mouths.”
In this sense, he concluded: “Ronaldo is an idol. He would understand if Jake was making fun of him to his face, but he wasn’t even close to that. He was filming his injury. He is an autistic boy and was assaulted by a soccer player. That’s how I see it as a mom.”
