5 times Cristiano Ronaldo showed that he is only human

#5 Pushing Pep Guardiola

Ronaldo pushing Guardiola in an El Classico clash

For many, Pep Guardiola is a Shaolin Monk. However, not everything that appears gold-ish is gold.

In a high-octane clash like the El Clasico, every player on the pitch is playing with rage in their hearts. Some channel it within them while some express it through rash acts. It doesn’t take much to incense a player in such a fiercely fought game.

So when the ball crossed the touchline and fell into the hands of Pep Guardiola, he held it instead of giving it to Ronaldo, in a bid to waste time. The Portuguese was somewhat aghast and in a mode of reflex action, shoved the current Manchester City manager and prompted a fracas among the players of the two clubs.

Looking back at this incident, it can be concluded that both Guardiola and Cristiano were at fault—and making mistakes is a trait that only humans make.
