Ronaldo shows off Ballon d’Or trophies, boot

•Real Madrid wallop Granada to equal Barca’s record

Cristiano Ronaldo rarely shies away from the spotlight.

After showing off his four Ballon d’Or trophies to the Bernabeu masses on Saturday, the Real Madrid forward took to the pitch against Granada in specialised boots.

Nike designed the flashy white and gold footwear to celebrate his fourth title, which he secured after leading Real Madrid and Portugal to Champions League and Euro 2016 glory respectively.

Ronaldo’s special boots weren’t even needed (well, not really) as Ronaldo’s obligatory goal actually came from a header as Real claimed a 5-0 win on Saturday afternoon.

Real Madrid continued their blistering start to 2017 with a commanding 5-0 win over Granada, equalling Barcelona’s record for the longest unbeaten run of any Spanish side side.

Ronaldo, Isco, Karim Benzema and Dani Carvajal all found the net in the rout at the Santiago Bernabeu, with Zinedine Zidane’s side establishing a six-point lead over Barcelona at the top of La Liga.

Isco opened the scoring after just 12 minutes and the capital club never looked back from that moment on.

Benzema turned home a close range finish following a Luka Modric shot, with Ronaldo putting Real Madrid 3-0 up after 27 minutes on a day when he showed off his fourth Ballon d’Or before kick-off.

And it was 4-0 after 31 minutes when Isco bundled home from Modric’s cut-back, settling the contest before the half-time break. Casemiro netted a rare goal in the second half, with Isco withdrawn with a minor knock.

Real Madrid have now gone 39 games without losing in all competitions, and on the basis of this performance they won’t be losing any time soon.
