FANS have been left puzzled after Brazil star Rodrygo was filmed rubbing Ronaldo’s legs for luck.
The Real Madrid attacker was speaking to the Brazil legend after helping his side beat Switzerland on Monday evening.
Rodrygo did not start the match, but helped Brazil finally break through the opposition’s resilient defence.
The 21-year-old set up Manchester United’s Casemiro to score the only goal of the game and send Brazil into the last 16 of the World Cup.
However, fans are now thinking that he is going to get injured after he rubbed Ronaldo’s legs for luck.
The 46-year-old is considered one of the best strikers of all time but was hampered by injuries throughout his career.

One said: “Yeah… he’s getting injured.”
Another commented: “He is also touching knee injuries.”
A third added: “I hope he doesn’t transfer the career-ending injuries along with the special powers.”
A fourth tweeted: “Does he realize he will pick up his injury problems as well?”

During the interview, Ronaldo asked him if he was ready to fill Neymar’s shoes after he picked up an injury in Brazil’s opening game.
The PSG star will not play for the remainder of the group stage after hurting his ankle, and is still not confirmed that he will be back for the knockout rounds.
At the end of the chat, Ronaldo wished Rodrygo luck going forward in the tournament.
He said: “Go with everything, good luck! The whole of Brazil is rooting for you. Thanks!’
Rodrygo and Brazil have one more group game left and will earn the top spot with at least a draw against Cameroon.
If they avoid defeat they will face the second-placed side from Group H.
However, if they were to lose to the African side, then they could face a tricky tie against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal side.
