Cristiano Ronaldo dons new hairstyle ahead of Juventus vs Lyon  

Cristiano Ronaldo posted a picture with his kids - Eva, Mateo and Alana on his official Instagram account this week. It is apparent in the picture that the 35-year-old has trimmed his hair short. This is not the first time this season, however, that Ronaldo has sported a different look, having frequently changed his hairstyle, mesmerising his fans with a different look altogether every time. 

During the coronavirus induced lockdown that lasted more than three months, Cristiano Ronaldo underwent isolation at his plush mansion in Madeira, Portugal. During this time, the Juventus ace decided to grow his hair long and then sported a bun. This was followed by a curly-haired look during the final stretch of Serie A, similar to his teammate Juan Cuadrado.
