Sports are finally making a comeback and futball (soccer) is leading the way. The German Bundesliga has been back in action for a few weeks now. They are a leading example of how sports could start to return from the Covid shut down. Today, the Italian Serie A returned to action and provided us with about the most chaotic 10 seconds you can ask for. A rocket off the post from Ronaldo leads to a near murder just a few seconds later by Ante Rebic.
Ronaldo’s Rocket
Christiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players to ever play the game. Ronaldo is known for making history every other game it feels like. However, he was on the wrong side of history this time around. He became the first player since the Covid shut down to miss a penalty kick.

Ante Rebic Almost Kung-Fu Kills A Man
Ronaldo missing a penalty is a rare sight in itself, however we then see another rare occurrence, a red card. There’s no debating this one, as Ante Rebic was about as reckless as you can get. Thankfully, his foot wasn’t higher and didn’t connect with his opponent’s face.
