Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo went head-to-head with a moth during the Euro 2016 final…and the moth won
SAINT-DENIS, France — Before his Portuguese teammates and the medical staff could tend to his injured knee, Cristiano Ronaldo was approached by a moth.

The moth also spawned a number of memes:pic.twitter.com/0fREc4vFUA — Deadspin (@Deadspin) July 10, 2016I thought this moth was gonna cry and fix Ronaldo the way Dumbledore's phoenix, Fawkes does. As Ronaldo writhed on the turf, one of the moths infesting the national stadium fluttered over and landed on his tearful right eye. Stadium staff with vacuum cleaners were seen gathering up moths in each of the technical areas in front of the dugouts.
