Ronaldo launches underwear range

How does an international superstar footballer eclipse scoring a league hat-trick for Real Madrid? Cristiano Ronaldo dazzled the supporters at the Bernabeu on Wednesday night with a thrilling treble and he was back in front of the cameras soon after to launch his line of briefs. The range is called CR7 and was launched in a typically understated fashion – in front of a 30ft high billboard of the Portuguese attacker looking lean in just a pair of his new pants. Of course he isn’t the first footballer to take advantage of his fame – and athletic frame – by modeling a range of skimpy underwear. David Beckham was often spotted posing for the cameras as an Emporio Armani and Freddie Ljunberg was used as Calvin Klein’s model. Ronaldo was right at the heart of the action as Real swept Sevilla aside on Wednesday night in a thrilling 10-goal encounter, which also saw £86million man, Gareth Bale, bag his first goals in front of his home fans. It was a much-needed win for Carlo Ancelotti’s side after title rival, Barcelona, had extended its lead at the top of La Liga to seven points after its win on Tuesday night
