New Match of the Day host Kelly Cates recalls the time she upset Cristiano Ronaldo in awkward post-match interview Sky Sports presenter Kelly Cates has spoken out about an awkward encounter she once had with Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of her imminent switch to host Match of the Day.
Cates questioned whether Ronaldo meant to score a backheel flick against Aston Villa in 2008.
Mail Sport exclusively revealed earlier this month that Cates is set to be one of three hosts of the BBC flagship show alongside Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan when Gary Lineker steps down from his current role at the end of the season.
Reflecting on the best goals she has ever seen live, Cates told FourFourTwo: 'One of the most memorable was years ago, I think it was against Aston Villa and it was pouring with rain.
Ronaldo was not happy with Cates' suggestion that his sublime goal was a fluke.
