How Ronaldo became King of the Selfie: Self-obsessed star is bombarding fans with relentless stream of pictures


When Cristiano Ronaldo was given time away from international duty this week following a typically frantic start to the season, the Real Madrid star fell back on what he loves doing most away from the pitch. Ronaldo, who on Tuesday scooped his fourth golden boot as Europe's top goalscorer during the 2014-15 season having scored 48 goals in 35 Spanish league games, took time off from representing Portugal to relax with friends. This is known by his 32.8million Instagram followers, who have found the Ronaldo 'selfie' to have become a staple of their daily browse.
