Is Cristiano Ronaldo paranoid about his height?
We’re starting to think he might be. It’s not like the Portuguese star is even a short stack – he’s 6ft 1in for Christ’s sake. Us real short-arses would kill to even be in the 6ft club.
But the Real Madrid forward has been pictured again straining on his toes to seemingly add a few extra inches to his height.
The 31-year-old can be seen up on his tip-toes as his Portugal side posed for a pre-game team photo ahead of the semi-final clash with Wales (the photo that was gloriously photobombed by this cheeky young fan as 12th man).
He has been pictured trying to make himself the tallest man in the Real Madrid squad on a number of occasions – including in his side’s 1-0 Champions League victory over Liverpool in 2014.
He was at it again ahead of the big Ronaldo vs Bale Portugal vs Wales game at Euro 2016.
Except Portugal ‘keeper wasn’t getting done for height off a 6ft 1-er and got up on his toes too…
Fans on Twitter couldn’t help take the piss…

@FootballFunnys Ronaldo stands on toes to look taller. Goalkeeper ain’t having none of that; also stands on toes ?
