Cristiano Ronaldo (37), the 'superstar' of Manchester United (Man United), an English professional footballer, posted an apology on social media after he couldn't calm himself down after a stroke.



Manchester United scored the winning goal in the 27th minute of the regular league away match against Everton at Goodison Park in Liverpool, England on the 9th (local time) and lost 1–1.



United led the game with 12-7 shots and 68%-32% of the ball possession, but failed to score.



Ronaldo took the lead for Man Utd, but he only scored two shots without scoring and could not create a close-knit scene.



Ronaldo's performance was so poor that soccer statistics site WhoScore.com gave it a score of 6.1, the lowest among players who played full-time.



The Everton players seem to have been very rough on Ronaldo on the ground.



Ronaldo's left shin, who took down his stockings after the game, was bleeding with a deep fan wound.



After a difficult 90 minutes, Ronaldo exploded on his way out of the field.



A scene was witnessed where Ronaldo slammed a fan's cell phone requesting an autograph with his hand and fell to the ground.



A fan posted a video of the scene on social media, and Ronaldo was heavily criticized.



A few hours later, Ronaldo posted an apology on social media.



Ronaldo said, "It's difficult to control emotions in difficult moments, but our players must always respect their fans and set an example for young people who love football. I apologize for the explosion," he said. I want to give it to you,” he suggested.



On the other hand, today's loss made the chances of Manchester United as targeted for fourth place even slimmer.



Manchester United are in 7th place (51 points), and the gap with 4th place (57 points) Tottenham in a subsequent match against Aston Villa has widened to 6 points.



At this rate, it is difficult to guarantee getting tickets to the Europa League or Europa Conference League, let alone the UEFA Champions League.



Manchester United manager Ralph Langnick said coldly, "There is no excuse. If you play like this, you don't deserve to be in the top four."
