Champions League fans were ‘amused by Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo’s bored expression’ after he was given a menial task during the recent draw.
The level of boredom displayed by Cristiano Ronaldo during the Champions League draw was too much for FOOTIE fans to handle.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who was awarded a trophy for being the tournament’s all-time top striker, was instrumental in the draw in Monaco.
Cristiano Ronaldo played a big part in the Champions League draw along with former team-mate Gianluigi Buffon
Ronaldo was tasked with pressing the all-important magic button to help finalise the groups
But he cut a bored figure on several occasions during the near hour-long draw
Ronaldo’s enthusiasm for the draw quickly waned
His lack of interest quickly became the talk of social media
The Portuguese celebrity, resplendent in his finest attire, was assigned the crucial responsibility of activating the supercomputer button.
Every time Gianluigi Buffon, Ronaldo’s former Juventus teammate, drew a team from the four seeded pots, Ronaldo had to press the button.
The legend of Real Madrid and Manchester United was animated at first, but as the draw went on, his excitement subsided.
The 3 -year-old frequently appeared to be indifferent when his talents weren’t needed.
And as German powerhouse Borussia Dortmund was hearing their fate, his indifference was obvious.
The forward rested one hand on his hip and leaned against the table, unperturbed.
One observer of the drawing noted that Ronaldo seemed extremely bored, adding, “Ronaldo is killing me, he’s so so bored.”
Someone another commented: “Ronaldo is SO bored of standing there pressing the same button every 2 minutes.”
“Ronaldo already looks bored lol,” said another. This is drawn by certain Champions League players.”
Someone said, “Only thing I like about this is Ronaldo getting bored and just pressing the button whenever he wants.”
“Surely I’m not the only one entertained by watching Cristiano Ronaldo try to make repeatedly pressing a button entertaining,” someone else commented.
“He looks so bored.”
During the draw, the four Premier League teams—Aston Villa, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal—learned their destiny for the tournament this season.
Arsenal will play Shakhtar Donetsk, GNK Dinamo, Monaco, and Paris Saint-Germain at the Emirates while travelling to Inter Milan, Atalanta, Girona, and Sporting Lisbon.
Aston Villa, meanwhile, will make their comeback to Europe’s top club competition when they host Celtic, Juventus Bologna, and Bayern Munich at Villa Park.
The Villans of Unai Emery will travel to play Young Boys, Monaco, Club Brugge, and RB Leipzig.
Matches between Manchester City and Juventus, Sporting Lisbon, Slovan Bratislava, and Paris Saint-Germain are scheduled for their away days.
At the Etihad Stadium, the reigning Premier League winners will welcome AC Milan, Club Brugge, Feyenoord, and Sparta Prague.
Arguably the most difficult draw was given to Liverpool, who will travel to face AC Milan, Girona, PSV Eindhoven, and RB Leipzig.
The Merseysiders will enjoy their chances against Bologna and Lille, but they have tough home games against Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen.
