Cristiano Ronaldo is back in the thick of the action at Real Madrid again and to tell you the truth, I’m a little over his hype at the moment. Sure millions of señoritas and gays el-poopas would mount him like dogs on heat if they had the chance and sure his tan could pass him off as an oompa loompa, but I really ain’t impressed anymore… wanna impress me? Score a goal then run to the corner with your top off and not get a yellow card or top the group in next years World Cup finals and shine as a big game player! Then we’re talking!

If a picture tells a million stories, here are 6… pictures, not 6 million stories:

Match highlights:

Portuguese man-o-sex Cristiano Ronaldo made his long awaited return to the Real Madrid team last night, which is quite exciting given the biggest match of the Spanish calendar, the ‘El Classico’, takes place this weekend. And even though he didn’t really contribute much in this game and won’t be match fit for the weekend, it’ll still be awesome to see the plethora of stars these teams have to offer, kicking the shit out of each other in a bid to keep their respective teams first on the ladder. What this has to do with last nights Champions league match, I’ll never know, but below are the highlights and pics for you to enjoy… you big party pooper!

Is it just me or are Real Madrid really missing the presence of their tanned, Portuguese, man-o-sex Ronaldo? Sure their overly excited old fellas are scoring goals, but at the same time the team looks like it’s just scraping through simple matches and if it wasn’t for two goals by Higuain last night, coach Pellegrini would be on the next flight off this planet. And not to say that they’re under pressure, but the go to Italy to take on AC mid week… Ha! Good luck, we all know how that went last time!

On another note and instead of playing football, Ronaldo’s been too busy eying off the individual competition. Reuters:

The Castrol Rankings is a system that claims to definitively rate the world’s best soccer players, using technology that objectively analyses and ranks their performance.

So let me get this straight, if Henry is ranked 1st and Eto’o is ranked 6th… where does Ronaldo fit in in all this? Does he fit at all? How did Henry beat Messi to no.1? And finally, how did Pique even make the cut!?
Questions, questions… feel free to answer then if you liKe.
