However, there is always two sides to a story, as Ronaldo did indeed swap shirts with the Iceland midfielder. After the match Gunnarsson denied any truth to the Ronaldo rumors flooding the press, stating:
"He said 'inside' [the tunnel], there was no problem
"He wasn't asking who I was. He's not like that as a person, even though I don't know him. I asked him for his shirt and he said 'inside'. The rumours are not true.
"It's something I wanted to do. I am a big Manchester United fan and he played for Manchester United so that's why I wanted to change shirts with him."
