While you were busy being lulled into new depths of nihilism by Manchester City and Real Madrid's revolutionary cure for insomnia last night, vainglory's Cristiano Ronaldo was busy proving that there is meaning to his life: himself. Rather than watch the remarkably dull spectacle on offer, Ronaldo was busy campaigning further for the philosophical belief in solipsism, that it is, in fact, he that matters most in the world. In a move that surely now moves him beyond any future potential of parody, Ronaldo was photographed on the bench watching videos of himself on his phone. Pay attention to the image revealed on Ronaldo's phone as he fixes his absurdly large headphones:

We are glad that, as egotistical as it may be, that Ronaldo does have some belief in a meaning of life. Himself. This display of narcissism follows a couple of weeks after this fundamentally hilarious pose in the post-Clasico celebratory photo. *Deep breaths*:

With the Madrid/City tie drawn at 0-0, the second leg at the Bernabeu next week promises to be extremely tense. Although not as tense as Ronaldo's muscles are in that photo.
