Cristiano Ronaldo dresses up as a beggar to surprise and play football with kids

Cristiano Ronaldo showed he is in touch with his supporters, by disguising himself as a beggar before having a kick about with kids in Madrid.

The Ballon d'Or winner donned a fat suit, complete with fake moustache, beard and wig, then did a few kick-ups with children in the Spanish capital.

Ronaldo pulled off this stunt at the busy Plaza de Callao in downtown Madrid, so the general public quickly swarmed around the world's best player as soon as he revealed himself.

The Real superstar showed his tougher side on Saturday evening, when he was sent from the field for violent conduct in Los Blancos' La Liga clash with Cordoba.

He apologised on Twitter after the game.
