Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo showed up to a signing for his new book Moments trying to cover up a black eye and a forehead gash sustained during a match on Tuesday.
At least his ego wasn't bruised. He told reporters gathered there: “It's not a problem. In four or five days I will be beautiful once again.”
