When you've got one of the world's most accurate shots, it must be awkward when you accidentally kick a ball into a child's face.

But Cristiano Ronaldo has, once again, shown his caring side by making amends for striking a young child in the face with the ball.

The Real Madrid star took the shirt off his own back and offered it to the fan, who obviously accepted the gesture.

Not only that, but the boy now has probably the world's greatest pub anecdote for when he grows up.

"When I was a kid I got smashed in the face by a shot from Cristiano Ronaldo, and then he gave me his shirt."
