Cynics look away now! Ahead of Real Madrid’s deserved 2-0 Champions League win away at Roma, Cristiano Ronaldo showed his cuter side while lining up on the pitch with the mascots.
Giving the little girl a sweet kiss on the cheek (again, cynics and smartarses keep quiet!), Ronaldo, often lambasted for his apparent egomania and selfishness, looked to have made her day…

What a lovely touch from the player and what a nice memory for the little girl! As for the game itself, after a rather dull first-half, Ronaldo himself opened the scoring with a deflected shot after a clever change of direction. Sub Jese then doubled the Spaniards’ advantage to give Madrid a hefty advantage ahead of the return leg at the Bernabeu…

Game set and match for Real in this tie, I imagine.
