Cristiano Ronaldo sports a leg brace on holiday in Ibiza as he recovers from Euro 2016 injury nightmare
Euro 2016 winning captain has to take it easy on his mega-yacht to prevent any further damage before next season
CRISTIANO RONALDO cannot enjoy a knees-up on his family holiday - as he is sporting a leg brace to help recover from injury.
The Portugal captain, 31, has jetted off to sunny Ibiza to take a well-earned summer break.
Ron, son Cristiano Jr, four, and mum Dolores, 61, have all been catching rays on a mega-yacht during their Balearic getaway.
The Real Madrid superstar yesterday looked on proudly as Cristiano Jr played around on a jetpack.
But he himself had to take it easy as he was still feeling the effects of Dimitri Payet's clash in the Euro 2016 final.
Ron cried as he was carried off the pitch on a stretcher after damaging his left knee.
But he put on a brave face and helped manager Fernando Santos issue instructions from the touchline.
It also emerged the skipper delivered an inspirational team-talk at half-time to drive his team-mates to victory.
Portugal's triumph capped off a superb season for Ronaldo - favourite for this year's Ballon d'Or - as he added the European title to Champions League glory.
Last year's winner, Lionel Messi, pipped his greatest rival to an astonishing fifth gong.
The Barcelona ace, 29, is also topping up his tan in Ibiza after being given an extra week of holiday before returning to training.
