Rumors on the subject began to surface online after the player posted some photos after training with his 13-year-old son, Cristiano Jr, on Instagram. In the pictures, both are smiling in Ronaldo’s luxurious gym.
However, the post went viral for a reason the player probably didn’t expect, as his fans focused on the color of his toenails, which were painted black, in the comments section of the post.
After much speculation, experts confirmed to the German website BILD that the choice was not based on aesthetics. It turns out that athletes are very susceptible to fungal infections around the toenails because they spend many hours sweating in their shoes.
The problem is particularly common among football players, whose feet endure many traumas when kicked or stepped on during matches. Therefore, Ronaldo paints his toenails to protect them from fungi and bacteria.
