International

The Real Madrid icon likes to demonstrate his precise close control on Japanese TV shows. He publicly flaunts his superior pace to his teammates, while sometimes he likes to casually score volleyed rabonas in training.

Now, it seems that he's shown off with an incredible first-touch pass in a public training session - without even looking.

Warming up with teammates on Real's pre-season tour of China, CR7 flicks a looping, no-look ball on with total accuracy. Not only that, he even waves to the crowd as he does it. Now that's what we call cool.

To be fair on Cristiano, it might not be showboating. Our only other explanation is that he's caught sight of his mum in the stands and decided to catch her attention - only to complete the most stylish of passes anyway.

After all, it's not like Cristiano needs to pay attention to be awesome.

Even if that scenario seems unlikely, this is still a quite magnificent moment.
