The Portugal star may be caught in a very public tug-of-war between the Barclays Premier League champions and Spanish giants Real Madrid, but Ronaldo clearly has no intention of hiding in the shadows.

That's rich! Cristiano Ronaldo and Armando Petit leave the Portugal team hotel in Neuchatel, Switzerland this morning

Ronaldo: Looking shady

The morning after scoring once and having a hand in Portugal's other goals during the 3-1 Euro 2008 victory over the Czech Republic, the 23-year-old emerged from the team hotel in Neuchatel, Switzerland sporting a shirt with the legend: "Champ! $$".

Maybe it was a plea to Manchester United to pay him the reported £150,000 weekly wage that would keep him away from Madrid.

Any response from Old Trafford boss Sir Alex Ferguson, last seen on a beach in the south of France?
