Camerman needs stitches after errant strike from Cristiano Ronaldo
An errant strike by Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has led to a cameraman needing stitches, during a training session in the lead up to the Champions League final against Liverpool.
Ronaldo looked like he was goofing around when he hammered the ball with a drive that struck the man in the head.

The superstar tried to make up for the accident and thought handing over a Real Madrid training jacket would smooth things over.
And it probably did.
Univision’s Juan Lorenzana Pieto needed medical assistance after being assaulted by the football but seemed well enough to pose for a photo sporting a bandage around his head.
Nobody knows if Ronaldo deliberately booted the ball at the camera guy.
If anything it’s an indication the star’s accuracy is where it needs to be for Sunday morning’s (AEST) final in Kiev.
