World-famous football star Cristiano Ronaldo has been caught in a scandalous video.
The Portuguese player was seen washing his hand after greeting the captain of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) national team.
According to Oxu.Az citing life.ru, the footage was recorded about two weeks ago but only now spread on social media.
The experienced footballer became the subject of discussion due to the video taken from the stands.
Some users perceived his action as offensive and accused him of racism. However, a crucial detail later emerged that cast doubt on these accusations. Ronaldo greeted his opponent with his right hand but washed his left hand.
Consequently, many users noted that the loud accusations arose from a misinterpretation of the video.
It is worth noting that the Portugal vs. DRC match in the group stage of the 2026 World Cup ended in a 1-1 draw.
