"Cristiano Ronaldo targetted during match"

From The Daily Mail:

Cristiano Ronaldo was targeted with an air rifle during last night's football match between Barcelona and Real Madrid prompting fears of a new trend of 'footballers attacking footballers'. In an attempt to put off Real Madrid's star man, the Portuguese forward had dangerous airgun pellets fired directly at him countless times by Ashley Cole who was in the stand at the Nou Camp in Barcelona.

Air rifles are commonly used at Chelsea's training ground but are now becoming widespread at football matches.
