Cristiano Ronaldo: The football version of David Bowie

Ronaldo has done it at the very highest level, and he now has more goals in the World Cup and European Championship combined — 20 — than any other player

Cristiano Ronaldo has done in football what David Bowie did in his musical career – regularly changing his persona, achieving hit after hit, and creating records — and for most of Wednesday night’s draw with France it looked like the Portuguese hero would be bringing his own brand of stardust to Wembley.

It was only once Germany equalised for the second time against Hungary in the 81st minute of their game in Munich that Portugal went from second to third in Group F, meaning their Wembley date with England has been switched to a showdown with Belgium in the last 16.
