Cristiano Ronaldo produced one of his most self-adoring, embarrassing moments yet during Manchester United’s draw with Burnley last night.
Ronaldo is completely and utterly obsessed with himself – that’s hardly breaking news.
Still, just when you thought that he couldn’t surprise us with that self-obsession, he produces the kind of moment like he did on the subs bench at Turf Moor last night.
As Ronaldo prepared to come onto the pitch, with the Red Devils chasing a goal, he gave a little kiss to a pair of shin-pads that had his own face on them.
It doesn’t get any more ‘Ronaldo’ than this, surely?

As much as it’s often said in satire, Ronaldo has to be one of very few that you feel actually would spend their life in a loving relationship with themselves, were it possible.
This is as close as it gets to him giving himself a smooch on the lips.
