Yet more proof that Cristiano Ronaldo really is one of life’s good guys

Conan Doherty

Champions League penalty hero, Cristiano Ronaldo, just keeps getting worse.

After he upset a large portion of the population for celebrating winning the European trophy for a third time,  it has just been non-stop selfishness from him.

He delayed his celebrations on the pitch so Real’s disabled supporters could get a picture with him

Anything for a photo opportunity, right?

Now, it has been revealed that he has donated all of his win bonus to charity

Speaking with Defensa Central, Spanish journalist Pipi Estrada said that Ronaldo has given up all of the 600,000 euros he would’ve received for winning the Champions League, so he could help out the less fortunate.

“Cristiano Ronaldo has donated his Champions League premium to an NGO,” Estrada confirmed. “He has donated 600,000 euros. He had spoken with Jorge Mendes and asked him to take charge of distributing the money to the needy.”

Insert something about him being a multi-millionaire here.

On the pitch, he’s playing more selflessly too

Zinedine Zidane has asked him to do a job at times, chip in with the work load and the Portuguese superstar has obliged.

Obviously looking for more camera time.

He made a Palestinian orphan’s day when he spent time with him at the Bernabeu

But he wore sunglasses.

He went out for tea and patiently sat through about a million photos

Attention-seeking.

And that was all just in the last two months.

But, you know, he takes his top off and scores tournament-winning goals so… arrogant, selfish, ego-maniac and all that.

Yeah, he gives to charity, but look what he does on Instagram.
