Cristiano Ronaldo parades in Armani ads of his first appearance at the World Cup

The world's best footballers have had their thoughts on nothing but the World Cup in recent weeks. But Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, 25, managed to find time to pose for another Giorgio Armani underwear ad.

With impeccable timing ahead of Portugal's Group C opener against the Ivory Coast, newly released pictures see the footballing star showing off his sculpted torso in skimpy briefs and skin-tight jeans.

The 25-year-old forward’s latest modelling pictures for Armani have just been unveiled, giving David Beckham’s campaign a run for his money.

The Real Madrid star’s ad campaign for Armani Jeans and Emporio Armani Underwear will roll out worldwide in July, with billboards across London, New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo.
