It appears to be a simple image of the new European Champions – but take a closer look and it’s a lot more revealing than that…
European Champions. Portugal are EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS.
For Cristiano Ronaldo and his pals, winning Euro 2016 is a truly life-changing achievement. For one thing, people like us are now fascinated by photos like then one you can see above.
Posted online by Ronaldo himself, the image shows all 23 members of the Portugal squad squeezed into one picture on their flight home from France.
On the face of it, this is simply a photo of some very happy footballers. But after closer inspection, we now have a few questions about it…
1. Is that the furthest the trophy has been from Cristiano Ronaldo since he first lifted it in Paris?
When the celebrations finally came to an end last night and everyone went off to bed, can you imagine how the conversation went?
“I’ll just keep it on my bedside table tonight…OK, lads?”
2. Is Rui Patricio still holding his goalie gloves?
What exactly is that in the hands of Portugal’s goalkeeper?
3. Is it a coincidence that Ronaldo and Pepe are sitting in the two best seats?
The two Real Madrid stars get the seats at the front, meaning they don’t have to get up for the picture – instead allowing the squad to gather around them.
Hmm…
4. Why is there only ONE player who seems to be wearing his medal?
Something tells us Joao Mario hasn’t taken it off since it was first put around his neck.
Bless his little cotton socks.
5. How much would it cost to buy all the watches on show in this picture?
Answer: more money than you, us or the entire UK economy could afford to spend.
6. Does the fact he is wearing sunglasses during a flight prove once and for all that Bruno Alves really is bonkers?
Given what he did to Harry Kane at Wembley, almost certainly.
7. Is William Carvalho REALLY 24 years old?
Check out that moustache. It’s not 1976, William.
The Everton target looks more like Senator Clay Davis from The Wire than a man in his early twenties.
A series of valid queries, we’re sure you’ll agree – and we didn’t even ask the most obvious question.
Is this the first time Ronaldo has posed for a celebratory picture WITHOUT taking his shirt off?
It’s an amazing article to opt for every one of the
online viewers; they may take benefit from this I am sure.
