Because it is Ronaldo or something?” Addo told beIN Sport. “I think you’ve to ask the referee. I have no proof of that. We were playing the ball and then there was contact,” Addo added at his post-match press conference when asked if he believed the foul was given because it was Ronaldo.“If you look at the replay, we played the ball, it was actually a foul against us.“Up to the penalty, everything was possible. Then the game got a little bit wild.”
