Cristiano Ronaldo drew widespread acclaim on Saturday night for showing great sportsmanship in the World Cup last-16 match between Portugal and Uruguay.
Edinson Cavani, who had scored twice for Uruguay, suffered an injury which required him to be substituted in the second half.
And Ronaldo was the man who helped him off the pitch. Ronaldo realized Cavani couldn't walk off the pitch without help, so, he offered him a shoulder to the touchline before returning into the pitch.
Fans globally commented on Ronaldo's act describing it being sportsmanship. Ronaldo on many occasions unlike his competitor Messi has consistently done some human actions that made football fans' hearts melt.
Ronaldo and Messi are both on the race towards being best players in the world and as it stands now, both are at equal chances to win the Ballon d'Or.
Ronaldo did the noble act knowing it was his last game in the 2018 World Cup and his World Cup career.
From the humane act he did, Ronaldo has gained global popularity and has won the heart of many football stakeholders and this places him at a higher chance to be named World Best player of the year.
Both Messi and Ronaldo have been officially disbanded out of 2018 World Cup in the round of sixteen.
