From shamelessly gatecrashing informal team photos wearing nothing but his underwear, to commissioning his own statue (to stand outside *his own* museum), there is little doubting that Cristiano Ronaldo has an incredibly high opinion of himself.

Of course, we can’t really blame him; if we had four Ballon D’Ors above the fireplace at home, we’d think we were special too.
With this in mind, we’re sure that Rafa Benitez’s decision to tell Cristiano – one of the greatest players of all time – to go and study footage of himself went down really, really well.
According to Spanish outlet El Pais (via The Sun), Benitez did exactly that when he was (briefly) in charge of the former Manchester United star at Real Madird.
Benitez is said to have handed him a USB stick crammed with images and videos of himself (presumably as a player), prompting an angry response from Ronaldo.
“Tell Benitez that I’ll send him a USB drive with all my goals on it for him to study,” he reportedly responded.
Ouch. Wonder if Benitez is repeating the trick with Papiss Cisse at Newcastle.
