A woman who was hit by a wayward Cristiano Ronaldo shot asked the Portuguese forward if she had died.

She collapsed to the floor and Ronaldo rushed over to check she was okay, while medical professionals checked on her.

Speaking to German outlet Blick, the woman said she thought she had died.

"When the ball hit me on my head it was a full strike! I was gone in my head and went to the ground. Afterwards, I saw Ronaldo above me! Me 'Oh my god no, did I die?'
