Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t take too well to finding out he isn’t the fastest

From Champions League final goal celebrations showcasing his impressive physique to commissioning his own statue (that looks more like a sexually excited Joe Hart) – it’s clear Cristiano Ronaldo has no problems when it comes to self esteem.

But, according to a Sunday Times report, it would appear recent Real Madrid training sessions have put a considerable dent in the Ballon d’Or winner’s ego.

Real Madrid v Atletico de Madrid - UEFA Champions League Final

After the Real Madrid squad wanted to know who’s the quickest, Jack Nayler, the club’s sports science and conditioning coach, used GPS measuring equipment to provide them with a league table.

Stopping short of actually naming him, Nayler suggests
that Ronaldo wasn’t too impressed with the results.

“Without mentioning names, the world’s best player was fourth quickest in the squad and has refused to wear GPS since that day,” he said.

Ronaldo throwing his toys out the pram? JOE would never have seen it coming.
