CRISTIANO RONALDO left his Portugal team-mates baffled with a “revolutionary” prank during training.
Ronaldo helped his national team advance to the 2022 World Cup’s Round of 16 after topping Group H ahead of Ghana, Uruguay and South Korea, who joined them in the knockouts.
And before Friday’s 2-1 loss to the Koreans, the Portugal captain proved he hasn’t lost his flare despite his 37 years of age as he left his team-mates in awe with a stunning fake header.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner picked the ball up and was ready to head it towards a team-mate on his left.
But the star forward instead headed it to his team-mate in front of him with a moment of brilliance.
Ronaldo then pointed to the one on his left with a cheeky smile and let out a big chuckle.

Fans were also stunned as they took to Twitter to praise their idol’s skills.
One fan tweeted: “[Lionel] Messi could never.”
Another posted: “Ronaldo literally does anything: THIS IS REVOLUTIONARY.”
A third wrote: “Fake headers are Ronaldo’s specialty.”
HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON THE WORLD CUP
This fan commented: “F**k that was Insane.”
And that one tweeted: “I NEED to see him do this in a game.”
Ronaldo is currently a free agent after his dramatic exit from Manchester United following a bombshell interview in which he slammed the club from top to bottom.
The Real Madrid legend is currently focused on the World Cup but has received some lucrative offers from Saudi Arabian clubs Al Nassr and Al Hilal.
