For all the preening and posing on the pitch, Cristiano Ronaldo seems like a fairly stand-up guy off it.
Despite recent travails in his personal life, the Real Madrid star still went out of his way on Thursday to surprise one of his fans on the city streets.
Wearing uncharacteristically shabby clothes, a wig and a fake beard, Ronaldo sidled up to the young Real fan in Madrid's Plaza del Callao and proceeded to make the lad's day by giving him a hug and a signed football to remember him by.
Top notch.
