Cristiano Ronaldo showed off his bloodied and battered leg at full-time following Manchester United's devastating defeat to Everton.
Ronaldo failed to make an impression on his return to the starting XI as his side lost 1-0 at Goodison Park on Saturday.
But it appears he was in the thick of the action judging by his badly marked-up leg.

The 37-year-old rolled down his socks and revealed the gruesome stud mark on his left leg after the final whistle.
He assessed his leg as he made his way down to the dressing room.
However, when the image of Ronaldo's leg surfaced on social media, he got no sympathy from the Man United fans online.
One tweeted: "This is not gonna be an excuse right? This happen at the last minute."

A second sarcastically wrote: "Wow some scratches, will he survive?"
A third added: "From the way he played, didn't think he had legs."
Man United's latest defeats leaves them languishing in seventh place in the table and look set to miss out on Champions League qualification.
Speaking after his team's 1-0 loss, Ralf Rangnick said he will not accept any 'excuse' from his players that the uncertainty surrounding the managerial situation at the club is the reason behind their faltering league form.

"I don't think this should be an excuse," the interim boss said. "We are Manchester United. We have lots of international players.
"There shouldn't be an alibi. There will be a new manager next season. If this is announced now or in 10 days it shouldn't have an impact."
On achieving a spot in the top four, Rangnick added: "We've spoken about that a few times, we're dependent on other results, but if we don't win our games we'll never have good results from other teams.
"The only thing we can do is stick together.

"Now we have Fred injured as well as Scott McTominay, so that's two midfield sixes injured, hopefully not for too long. That's all we can do, prepare for the Norwich game."
