Real Madrid's LaLiga win over Granada saw Cristiano Ronaldo parade his Ballon d'Or award at the Bernabéu - and debut boots dedicated to his trophy-laden 2016.

Forward Ronaldo laced up in a pair of Pure Platinum Nike Mercurial Superfly CR7 Vitórias, which commemorate a year of individual and collective silverware.

Ballon d'Or follows success for club and country

After top scoring in the 2015/16 Champions League as Real lifted an 11th European crown, the 31-year-old captained Portugal to victory at Euro 2016 in the summer.

He then scooped his fourth Ballon d'Or in mid-December, before hitting a hat-trick in the final in Japan as Madrid won the FIFA Club World Cup for a second time.

Just 777 pairs of special boot

The limited-edition boot, of which just 777 pairs are to be made, features the word 'Vitórias' ('Victories' in Portuguese), in addition to the player's 'CR7' logo.

The Mercurial Superfly CR7 Vitórias also includes a metallic-gold sole plate that is a nod to the trophies amassed by the former Manchester United man in 2016.
