Cristiano Ronaldo may be the current holder of the Ballon d’Or, but the Real Madrid forward is admired for his physique as much as his football skills.
Even Sir Alex Ferguson has passed comment on Ronaldo’s toned torso, telling the audience at the launch of his new book, Leading, that he is “jealous” of the forward’s “fantastic body”.
On @cristiano, Fergie: "fantastic body, jealous of it".

No-one loves Ronaldo more than himself, of course, with Ferguson also hinting at the former Manchester United star’s dressing-room vanity…
Ferguson also funny on Cristiano Ronaldo. Said he'd be admiring his body in the mirror while players "threw socks and jockstraps at him".

Is anyone else now picturing Fergie hitting the gym in a bid to get hench like Ronaldo?
