Ronaldo netted a hat trick in less than 45 minutes away at Cagliari in the Old Lady’s first game after their Champions League elimination.

The Portuguese star, who has been linked with a return to Real Madrid, celebrated his third goal with a controversial gesture.

Still, former Serie A referee Luca Marelli believes he shouldn’t have been allowed to score the last two.

CR7 was booked moments after his first goal for dangerous play, as he went in high to meet a Chiesa cross, clattering Alessio Cragno in the face, leaving him with a cut to the chin.

“Ronaldo deserved a red card, although not intentional, it’s a serious foul that deserved a red card, too bad VAR didn’t intervene.”
