JAKARTA – Cristiano Ronaldo has been left by the UK's leading children's charity Save the Children. This is the aftermath of the Portugal international's action by slamming the smartphone of a young Everton fan named Jake Harding.

Ronaldo is strongly suspected of slamming Harding's phone after Manchester United's 0-1 defeat against Everton in the 2021/2022 English Premier League at Goodison Park on Saturday, April 9 yesterday.

This action made the superstar who last year was ranked as the most generous athlete in the world 'removed' by one of the foundations where he worked as an ambassador.

In a statement, Save the Children reiterated that Ronaldo is no longer their ambassador.

"Cristiano Ronaldo has been a supporter of Save the Children's work for poor families around the world. He has not worked with Save the Children since July 2018 and is no longer an ambassador for Save the Children", Save the Children said in a statement.

Ronaldo previously joined the charity in 2013 as a Global Ambassador to "ensure every child has the opportunity to reach their potential".

In addition, Ronaldo is also an ambassador for UNICEF in Portugal. It is part of the world's leading organization working for children in danger.

This fact makes Ronaldo's actions provoke a lot of pros and cons on social media. Some support Ronaldo's actions on the pretext that the star has helped many people, but others say that Ronaldo's actions are difficult to forgive.

Video footage circulating on social media after yesterday's match shows an angry-looking Ronaldo slamming Harding's phone. CR7 looked unhappy when the little fan-recorded all the United players walking towards the dressing room through the tunnel.

Ronaldo himself has sent an apology because he feels guilty for his actions. However, he will still face an investigation from the Merseyside police.
