CRISTIANO RONALDO has been pictured showing off his muscles and six-pack ahead of Portugal's clash with the Czech Republic later today. 

The Manchester United star stripped down to just his shorts as he posed in the Iberian heat for his Instagram.

Ronaldo boasts the highest account following of any global celebrity on Instagram, with a staggering 452million followers on the social media site.

He posted the image alongside the Nike football on his main Instagram page, which has since generated 4.5million likes and seen more than 35,000 comments posted underneath it. 

One follower said: "Vamos animal ??????????."

While another follower said: "Best player of all time," perhaps owing to Ronaldo's rivalry with Argentine superstar Lionel Messi for the label of the 'greatest of all time.'
The 37-year-old broke another record in Portugal's last game as he became the first player to score 100 non-penalty goals for his country following a brace in a 4-0 thrashing of Switzerland.

Next up he faces the Czech Republic in the UEFA Nations League as he looks to guide Portugal to a second victory in the tournament after previously winning the inaugural competition in 2019.

His goal record for Portugal is second to none, with 117 goals in 187 caps.

It's been quite the season for Ronaldo in terms of record-breaking.

He became the FIFA recognised highest-scoring player ever as he overtook Josef Bican's record of 805 career goals with a hat-trick against Tottenham Hotspur to net number 805, 806, and 807.

Despite Man United's struggles on the pitch, Ronaldo scored an impressive 24 goals upon his return to England - 18 of which came in the Premier League.

The Red Devils are set to undergo a huge rebuild this summer as Erik ten Hag guts the current squad and looks to install a new philosophy and culture from within.

Whether it will be a success remains to be seen, but United and Ronaldo will be desperate to get back into the Champions League next season.
