4 Times Cristiano Ronaldo Crossed The Line

#3 Red card in Manchester derby (2006)

In January 14, 2006, Ronaldo had a horrible match against Manchester City in the derby. He was guilty of show-boating and holding onto the ball for too long. City, on the other hand, played as a unit and it was no surprise that they rushed to a 2-0 lead by the 64th minute.

After trying to take on three players by himself, Ronaldo took a heavy touch and lost control of the ball. In a bid to try and recover it, he wildly went in for a sliding tackle that almost sliced City striker Andy Cole in half.

He was subsequently sent off by the referee for what was deemed as a dangerous tackle. City eventually won the match 3-1.
