It followed the side’s first training session at AAMI Park ahead of Saturday’s opening match against AS Roma at the MCG.
This morning, the superstar braved the cold at another training session – this time out in Heidelburg West at the City Football Academy, before a late afternoon session at AAMI Park.
Ronaldo arrived a few days before the rest of the team, with the superstar spied out and about in Melbourne.
One of the first things he did on Saturday was get a haircut at Kings Domain on the top end of Collins St.
He then had a big night at Crown, having dinner at Nobu and then hitting the VIP room at Club 23.
He and his entourage were surrounded by security and arrived at Club 23 at 11pm and left at close.
He has posed for pictures with some fans and was said to be a gentleman.
Ronaldo recently spilt from his long time partner Irina Shayk.
The other soccer giant in town is Manchester City for the three matches – this Saturday, Tuesday and Friday.
