Gary Lineker catches viewers off guard with surprising NSFW joke about Ronaldo

Gary Lineker has surprised BBC viewers after making a NSFW joke about Cristiano Ronaldo.

The comment was made after Portugal was defeated by France during Friday's (5 July) Euros match.

The game went to penalty shootouts after a stalemate between the two teams, but France claimed victory when Joao Felix failed to score.

Just before the game went to extra time, Ronaldo - who played the entire match - was seen by two physios on the pitch.

While this was happening, the pundits - including Rio Ferdinand - could be heard laughing about Ronaldo receiving treatment on both of his legs.

"He has two masseuses on his legs there! What's going on there? One on each leg," said Ferdinand.

It was at this point that Lineker made a rather surprising joke, responding: "Thankfully, he hasn't got three."

The joke was laughed off, before Jose Fonte moved the conversation along.

But the quip certainly wasn't missed by viewers watching at home, who were shocked over Lineker's crude comment.

One person wrote on X: "Nah Gary Lineker is wild for that."

While another said: "Gary Lineker forgetting he was hosting a nationally broadcast TV show and not in the boozer with his mates."

And a third added: "Gary Lineker that 3rd leg joke was disgusting."

Meanwhile a fourth commented: "'Lucky he’s not got 3’ have to give it to Gary Lineker there that was a heavy shout."

In other Euros news, UEFA has made a decision over its investigation into Jude Bellingham's behaviour following England's dramatic win against Slovakia.

After England's dramatic win against Slovakia in the round of 16, in which Bellingham scored a 95th minute overhead kick to take it to extra time, the Brummie made an X-rated gesture.

The rules of the game indicate any ‘obscene gesture’ or ‘offensive or insulting action’ made by those on the pitch should be punishable by a red card, which would result in a ban.

Now, making a decision the day before the big match, UEFA has chosen to give Bellingham a €30,000 (£25,300) fine.

He will be able to play against Switzerland in Saturday's (6 July) match, with a one match ban given against him, but suspended for one year.

The ruling says the ban is 'subject to a probationary period of one year, starting from the date of the present decision'.
