Ronaldo struck by LIGHTER during Real clash against bitter rivals Atletico after netting twice from the spot

Cristiano Ronaldo was struck in the head by a lighter during Real Madrid's Copa del Rey clash against Atletico.
Going in at half-time after putting Real two goals up in the semi-final second leg at the Vicente Calderon, a yellow cigarette lighter flew through the air and hit the Portugal captain on top of his head.
Ronaldo was walking off alongside team-mates Sergio Ramos and Xabi Alonso, who showed concern as the striker clutched his head after impact.

The missile was thrown from a section of Atletico support as players from both sides passed down into the tunnel.
Ronaldo, who was able to continue in the second half of the match after the 15-minute interlude, had netted twice from the spot to give his side a seemingly insurpassable 5-0 aggregate lead.
Real Madrid's star man was eventually substituted in the 76th minute by Bernabeu wonderkid Jese.
In the first leg last Wednesday, Real left back Marcelo and his young son were reportedly targeted with racist taunts from the travelling Atletico fans as the Brazil defender warmed down following the 3-0 win.
