Cristiano Ronaldo Trips and Falls in Madrid Airport, Isn't Helped Up

Just days after returning from South Africa after a disappointing World Cup stint with Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo tripped and fell while making his way up an escalator in Spain's Madrid-Barajas Airport. The fall reportedly came after Ronaldo tried to squeeze his way between two pedestrians to make it off the escalator quickly.
Said an anonymous onlooker, "[Ronaldo] was clearly in a hurry getting to where he needed to go. He made a quick cut in between two people, and suddenly fell to the tile floor, holding his ankle."
Added the source, "It didn't look like there was much contact, but he was yelling out in pain alright."
A good samaritan noticed the fall and attempted to help Ronaldo up. However, the man was temporarily blinded by the light that reflected off of Ronaldo's diamond earrings. In a bit of confusion, the man tripped over Ronaldo himself and rolled around the floor, clutching the side of his head.
Numerous onlookers witnessed the incident but refused to help Ronaldo up. When asked why, one man responded, "He clearly took a dive there. If we had replay available, you would have seen very minimal contact between Ronaldo and the other two. Look at him, he's holding his left ankle, and it was clearly his right ankle that would have been the one that was struck."
A young woman who was reading a newspaper while the fall occurred had this to say, " I think we're treating Ronaldo way too unfairly here without knowing all the facts. All we know is that he's on the ground. We don't know if it was a dive or not. And he's so cute, with such perfect hair and a beautiful smile. I hear he's dating Kim Kardashian."
When asked for comment, Ronaldo did not respond because he was busy fixing his already gelled hair that became temporarily out of place after the fall. After noticing the cameras gathering around him, Ronaldo got to his feet pretty easily and smiled.
When asked why Portugal had such a tough time against Spain in their round of 16 match up, Ronaldo suggested he didn't have the answer.
"You'll have to ask the coach about that. All I know is I looked good out there. My socks were pulled up at equal length, my number 7 jersey fit just right, and my hair remained intact, despite the nuisance of having to head the ball once in a while. I normally avoid that at all costs."
