Chris Sutton, former player of Blackburn Rovers, Chelsea and Aston Villa, among other teams, wrote in the Daily Mail: “Forget Diego Armando Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’, Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘Hair of God’ is now more in fashion”.

And Sutton was not wrong. ‘God’s hair’ and the goal that Cristiano didn’t recognize against Uruguay has become the target of “memes” and various comments on social networks. The last to speak about this case is David Villa, the former outstanding striker of Barcelona and the Spanish national team:

“Cristiano Ronaldo did not touch the ball at all, but without it, the ball would not have entered the net of the Uruguayan goal. He does not deserve criticism, on the contrary, he deserves credit for his effort, because he indirectly hindered (deceived) the opposing goalkeeper.”
