Internet Desk: Cristiano Ronaldo may only have completed one-sixth of the Euro 2016 final for Portugal, but that hasn’t stopped him enjoying the fruits of his summer’s labour by buying the fastest road car in the world, Bugatti Veyron.
After being substituted with a knee injury 25 minutes into Portugal’s eventual 1-0 win over hosts France, Ronaldo presumably needs the luxurious confines of the Veyron – which costs more to manufacture than its market price – as part of his prescribed recovery programme.
As Ronaldo approaches the autumn of his career and loses ‘that yard of pace’, it’s understandable that he should wish to compensate by driving a car with a top speed of 268 miles per hour.
The 31-year-old does, however, risk being upstaged by his handsome ride. The Veyron has an output of 987 brake horsepower – surely rivalling that of its new owner, who’s scored 364 goals in 348 senior games for his club side, Real Madrid.
