The ominous moth, immortalised in ‘The Silence Of The Lambs’, might have just registered itself in sports history when it rested on Cristiano Ronaldo’s tear-soaked eyes.

Cristiano Ronaldo left many shocked when he left the field on a stretcher after a leg injury, just minutes into the UEFA Euro 2016 final. But a ruthless ‘French’ moth wanted to make things bitter for CR7. As it stood out, ‘A kiss from a moth is a kiss of goodluck.’ At least it turned out be so, when Ronaldo changed his role from a striker to a manager’s role.

Portugal etched their name on the Euro 2016 trophy in front of a French audience at Stade de France beating the home team 1-0 in extra time.
