I love Cristiano Ronaldo so much I got his name and number tattooed on my back and cried at his World Cup exit


A Cristiano Ronaldo super fan has proudly shown off his ink-credible tribute to the football star by having his shirt number tattooed on his back.

The giant tatt – showing Ronaldo’s name, his favourite shirt number, and a football – covers fan Parthiban’s entire back.

Indian Parthiban posted images of the huge inking in an Instagram video last month.

The 28-year-old told Newsflash in an interview: “I’m from a middle-class family and I have a younger brother.

“I love sports and I follow football and cricket from time to time. I play football, cricket, and volleyball.

“My dream was to become a soldier in Indian Army, but I am a school dropout; I couldn’t continue my education after high school.

“Because of that, I couldn’t continue following my dream.”

He said of his idol: “I am a huge Ronaldo fan; I love his attitude and his hard work. He also came from a middle-class family and I can relate to him.

“He made his country proud and he made Portugal a well-known country around the world. He doesn’t have any bad habits. These qualities and his character made me a fan of him.

“I admire him most, so I decided to tattoo his name and number.

“I know Ronaldo doesn’t like tattoos, but I tattooed for myself and I felt heartbroken when Portugal lost in the World Cup. I was emotional when he cried.

“I posted the tattoo video on Instagram and shared it with some pages. It went viral, which I totally didn’t expect it to be.”

Portugal were dumped out of the World Cup by Morocco, losing 1-0 in the quarter-finals.

A free agent in Qatar, Ronaldo has now returned to the Middle East to join Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Nassr.

On his dream, Parthiban said: “I hope one day I can meet Ronaldo in person. Until then I work hard for my family and myself.”
