Ronaldo has posted many images of social media over the years that show he frequently paints his toenails. But the bizarre choice is more than just a bold statement, instead he adds a layer of varnish to protect them.
Painted toenails is common among MMA fighters because it protects them from being broken or cracked, and Ronaldo has opted to copy the tactic to stop his being damaged from his many lethal shots. Meanwhile, it also helps prevent them being infected by bacteria and fungi, which is a danger for footballers given they sweat so much over the course of 90 minutes.
Ronaldo will enjoy a break after his team's disappointing end to the campaign in Germany before he begins preparing for the new season with Al-Nassr, as they look to challenge for the Saudi Pro League title in 2024-25.
