Cristiano Ronaldo defends Japanese boy as crowds snigger at his attempts to ask the Real Madrid striker questions in Portuguese

Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo showed it’s not all about him by sticking up for a Japanese boy who was being laughed at by an audience at a Q&A.

The youngster was asking the former Manchester United ace various questions in Portuguese as the crowds watched on sniggering at his attempts.

But Ronaldo was quick to jump to the defence of the boy who was doing his best to communicate in the Ballon d’Or winner’s native tongue.

‘Why they smile? He speaks good Portuguese! They should be happy, because he tries very hard,’ quipped Ronaldo at the Japanese promo event.

Ronaldo enhanced his impressive goal scoring record against Juventus on Tuesday night as he scored in a 2-1 defeat in Italy.

His first-half effort brings his Champions League total to 76 goals, one more than Barcelona rival Lionel Messi who takes on Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.
