Manchester United surprisingly lost to Everton on Saturday.
After the match, Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, was involved in a situation with an opposing supporter who is now being investigated by the police.
"When a player left the pitch at 15.30, a boy was attacked by a player in the away team.
The investigation is ongoing and the police are working closely with Everton to review video material and collect testimonies to determine whether a crime has taken place ", writes the police in Merseyside, Liverpool, according to the BBC.
The excuse: "Not easy to deal with emotions"
Video clips on social media seem to show how the giant star knocks a mobile phone out of the hands of a supporter next to the exit from the football field.
Shortly after the match, Cristiano Ronaldo posted a post on social media in which he apologized for what had happened.
- It is not easy to deal with emotions in difficult times like the ones we are in now.
But no matter, we must always be respectful, patient and role models for young people who love the game.
I apologize for my outburst, and if possible, I would like to invite the supporter to watch a match at Old Trafford (Manchester United's home ground) as a sign of goodwill, writes the Portuguese.
