The ball flew over the crossbar and the powerful shot hit the 68 year old lower arm, which was later diagnosed as broken.
Mr Harrison, however has no hard feelings towards Ronaldo. “I definitely think he’s the best footballer in the world,” he said.

Filed Under Premiership | 6 Comments
Ronaldo scored his 28th premiership (38th overall) goal of the season today against Arsenal after a Gallas handball.
Arsenal took the lead with Adebayor’s goal on 48 minutes after he poked in Robin van Persie’s cross from close range. Ronaldo then made it 1-1 after 54 minutes from the penalty spot. He had to take the penalty twice, because of encroaching players, but he cooley slotted home against Lehmann the second time around.
Hargreaves curled in a great free-kick with 18 minutes left to win United the game.
Arsenal had some good moments, and Ferguson even admitted so himself, but united shone through and pushed towards the title.

He picked up a slight knock, so will miss the Portugal vs. Greece game in mid-week.
