Odd Appearance: Cristiano Ronaldo Get Adidas Predator Absolute Zidane Trophy

Cristiano Ronaldo, the legendary football player, has added another trophy to his cabinet, but it is not a boring one. Bug thanks to our follower Thomas K for the spot.

Arab Champions Cup MVP Trophy Is Based on Adidas Predator Absolute 2006 Cleats

After being named the player of the match (MVP) in the Arab Club Champions Cup 2023 final, he was awarded a golden boot trophy. A closer look at the trophy, however, reveals that it is not just any boot, but the Adidas Predator 2006 Absolute, the same cleat worn by Zinedine Zidane in the 2006 World Cup final.

The Arab Champions Cup is not sponsored by Adidas but by Tempo Sport, leading many to speculate that a Predator/Zidane fan may have played a role in the design of the trophy.

Ronaldo's acquisition of the Predator trophy adds yet another accolade to his already illustrious career. He has won numerous awards and trophies throughout his career, including five Ballon d'Or awards, four European Golden Shoes, and two European Championships.
