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?'
"Ronaldo said 'No, no. Excuse me! What's happening? Are you alright?'
"I was in great pain. My God. But then I saw Ronaldo and the headache was gone."
