The genius reason why Cristiano Ronaldo wears nail polish with Mike Tyson also using same method

The reason behind Ronaldo’s decision to paint his toenails was later revealed.

As per German outlet BILD, the 39-year-old paints his nails to prevent fungi and bacteria as an athlete, he spends a lot of time in sweaty shoes and boots.

The polish effectively creates a protective layer and hardens the toenails, stopping them from being cracked.

It's common in sports, particularly with track athletes and boxing and MMA fighters.

Heavyweight legend Mike Tyson is believed to have painted his nails in the peak of his boxing career.

And former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is also on board.

Ronaldo will go down in history as one of the best players to ever grace the football pitch.

At the age of 39, the Portuguese is still going strong after he captained Portugal at Euro 2024.

However, his bid for a second Euros title was dashed after losing to France via a penalty shootout.

Speaking after the match, he admitted that his Euros journey was over.

As per O Jogo, he said: “It is, without doubt, my last European Championship. But I'm not emotional about that. I'm moved by all that football means — by the enthusiasm I have for the game, the enthusiasm for seeing my supporters, my family, the affection people have for me.
