PHOTO: German newspaper with really creepy front page, depicts Cristiano Ronaldo as old man

Germany meet Portugal later today in Salvador, in what has accurately been billed as one of the most mouthwatering matches of the group stage.
Cristiano Ronaldo, having recovered from tendinitis in his left knee, will be on the pitch. Will he be able to lead the Seleccao to a victory? Not surprisingly, the German media doesn't think so.
Tabloid newspaper B.Z. Berlin came up with this cringe-worthy front page featuring a withered – and portly – Portuguese captain, accompanied by the headline, "Today Ronaldo will look old."
It's so very weird. And yet, you won't be able to look away.

That belly. It's mesmerizing.
