Cristiano Ronaldo boards private jet to Paris in expectation of winning fifth Ballon d’Or
CRISTIANO RONALDO has boarded a private jet to Paris in expectation of winning his fifth Ballon d’Or.
The Real Madrid superstar made history last night as his side defeated Borussia Dortmund 3-2 in the Champions League.
And he is surely to make a new slice of history off the pitch too by taking his fifth crown – matching the tally of arch rival Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo uploaded a photo to his Instagram showing himself getting on a plane with trademark ‘CR7’ logo and a silhouette of him celebrating.
He even wore his new Air Force 1 CR7 trainers for the trip, complete with a golden swoosh and eye-catching white style.
He wrote alongside the image: “Flying in style!”
The 32-year-old dad of four was joined on the flight by his mother Dolores and sister Katia Aveiro.
Mum Dolores even posted a selfie on her own Instagram with the caption: “Pronta para uma ida a Paris,’ which translates as “Ready for another trip to Paris”.

Ronaldo’s girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez is also on the trip.
The 22-year-old looked a bit bored in the stands during her man’s heroics last night.
But she wore a beaming smile while posing for a family selfie.
She wrote alongside the snap: “On the way to Paris for the Ballon d’Or with the family.”
