The former Chelsea attacker has now revealed that he and his family had a sleepless night after Poland's draw with fans raining abuses and threats against them as reported by Sport Bible and Goal. He told on Juanma Castano's El Partidazo de Cope that:

"Maybe I have not done my job as I should. I understand that I am criticised because I have not scored a goal, but I wish people would put themselves in the place of what it is like to receive threats, to be told that your children should die.
"Every time I get to the dressing room, my phone goes somewhere else. What bothers me is that they tell my wife, that they tell my children. They tell them everything.
"I didn't sleep at all these past few days, because of the adrenaline. I'm very happy, but it bothers me not to do my job well. The fans whistled at me before warming up, but I'm happy to take the penalty (against Slovakia) and have missed it."

Cristiano Ronaldo suffered attack from fans

Legit.ng earlier reported that Cristiano Ronaldo equalizer against France did not make Les Bleus fans happy after the Portuguese converting his second pot-kick.

The 36-year-old won the penalty after Jules Kounde was punished for handling the ball inside the 18-yard-box.

France had gone up by 2-1 with Karim Benzema grabbing his brace two minutes after the blockbuster game was restarted.
