The Manchester United outcast decided to draw a less-than-flattering picture of teammate Pepe.
Portugal kick off their group stage campaign on Thursday, with games to follow against Uruguay and South Korea.
Ronaldo’s explosive interview with Piers Morgan has been the talk of the town leading up to the tournament.

Ronnie was fit to burst as he howled with laughter while showing the camera the shocking drawing.
As Ronaldo was left in stitches at his efforts, Pepe looked utterly confused as he tried to comprehend the A4 monstrosity.
