She told Blick TV: “When the ball hit me on my head it was a full strike.

 

“I was gone in my head and went to the ground. Afterwards I saw Ronaldo above me and said: ‘Oh my God no, did I die?’

 

“Ronaldo said: ‘No, no. Excuse me! What’s happening? Are you all right?’

“I was in great pain. My God. I was more or less ballaballa! But then I saw Ronaldo and the headache was gone.”

 

As well as being apologetic at the time, Ronaldo also gave Nobile his shirt after the 2-1 defeat to cheer her up.

However in a seperate interview with Globo Esporte, Nobile revealed that the pair argued in the past.

 

She said: “When he played here for Real Madrid, I ended up cursing him. I didn’t know who he was.

 

“I said: ‘The game is over, you keep running here on the field and people don’t leave.’

 

“He continued [running on the field], and I was already very tired. He sent me to talk to the coach.

 

“I came back: ‘So, is it going to end or not? This is Switzerland, dear!’

 

“He told me where to go. I said: ‘What a rude guy.’ Until yesterday, I didn’t like Cristiano Ronaldo.”

 

Despite their past beef, Nobile admitted she doesn’t think Tuesday’s incident was an act of revenge.

 

She added: “It wasn’t revenge, no. He was holding my hand, stroking my face, asking, ‘Are you okay, are you okay?’

 

“Now I’m a number one Ronaldete!”
