Ronaldo may have set a new standard for goal scorers everywhere this week when he stopped to celebrate a goal he scored... in training. You read that correctly. During a routine training session, the team was taking penalty kicks, and after putting his in, Ronaldo stopped the proceedings with some celebratory posing. He even walked back to the group while smiling and pumping his fist.

Ronaldo Denies Calling Messi by Deragatory Name

All soccer fans are familiar with the sentiment that goal scorers are divas. Everyone likes to celebrate, but the strikers and forwards who generally lead the league? Those guys really like to ham it up after putting a shot into the back of the net. Of course, nobody embodies this stereotype more than Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.

Whether he is taking the field in a league game for Real Madrid or as a member of the Portuguese national team, viewers can always expect two things from him. First, that he will be absolutely electric when he gets the ball in space. Nobody in the world has better footwork in the open field. And second, that when a shot from Ronaldo finds its mark, he will put on a show for everyone.

Generally, Ronaldo's favored celebration is a fairly straightforward sprint to the corner of the pitch, where he rarely resists the urge to rip his jersey off, revealing his abs to everyone and guaranteeing himself some good press coverage.

He kept that one in the holster during practice, but he still felt the need to stop and draw some attention to himself after putting a penalty kick past the keeper in practice. You have to admire the guy's commitment to self-promotion, but he might be more popular among teammates if he stops celebrating in practice after he scores off of a shot with a 90 percent conversion rate.
