Real Madrid's first-team squad have been treated to complimentary cars by club sponsors Audi at a event on Monday.
Each
year, the deal sees the players take home an Audi of their choice, and
it comes as no surprise that speed demon Cristiano Ronaldo picked the
fastest option available.
The Portuguese forward opted for the powerful 520-horsepower S8 model, along with defender Sergio Ramos.

Welshman Gareth Bale opted for the Q7 model, the most popular choice among the Real Madrid squad
James Rodriguez also chose the Q7, with a 245-horsepower, 3 litre TDI engine, but in blue instead
The most popular choice by some way was the Q7, a bigger, SUV car.
Gareth
Bale, James Rodriguez and Javier Hernandez were among the Real Madrid
stars who chose that model, with a 245-horsepower, 3 litre TDI engine.
Summer recruit Toni Kroos was more refined in his choice - the S7 Sportback, a more elegant coupe.
Raphael
Varane, Dani Carvajal and Alvaro Arbeloa plumped for the sporty SQ5,
boasting a 313-horsepower twin-turbocharged diesel engine.
Before
they were presented with the keys to their new cars, the Madrid squad
were put through their paces with a series of tests - a small price to
pay for a brand new Audi.
Divided
into two teams, the players mounted stationary bikes to pedal through a
relay race, before a keepy-uppy challenge shortly after.
They
also participated in a reflex and co-ordination test, before posing
with their new cars, some of which worth over 100,000 euros.
Last week, the Barcelona squad were treated to the same choices at a similar event.
