The Portuguese superstar was caught by a Dimitri Payet challenge and went off for treatment on his knee after just 17 minutes.

The world of football will unite in sympathy…Twitter not so much.

Seemingly stealing the show was the moth that landed on him – with users rushing to follow a new Twitter account: "Ronaldo's moth".

Yep, seriously.

He limped back on with strapping on his left knee but continued to struggle before the stretcher was called.

Former Chelsea winger Ricardo Quaresma, who scored the winner against Croatia in the last 16, replaced him on 25 minutes.

Ronaldo's Real Madrid team-mate Gareth Bale tweeted: "Terrible to see Cris come off like that.

"Hope it's nothing too bad."

Ronaldo might take solace in his incredible WAG off the pitch.

And he's had a great tournament to be fair.

He broke Welsh hearts in the semi-final with a stunning header into Wayne Hennessey's goal.
