Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has paid tribute to his own impressive performances during 2012 by having seven significant numbers stitched onto his boots.

Ronaldo will soon be sporting footwear with the digits 1, 9, 14, 19, 27, 55 and 60 embroidered across the heals.

One pays tribute to his first La Liga title with Los Galacticos, while nine and 14 represent his goals-to-games ratio for Portugal during the calendar year.

The 27 signifies his age, while 60 and 55 again show a goals-to-games ratio, but this time for his club.

The boots have specially produced by Nike and Ronaldo admits that he is looking forward to wearing them.

He said: "Last season was a very special one for me, helping my team and country achieve success.

"It's great to celebrate these achievements and also have a great pair of boots to recognise the moment. I'll enjoy playing in them for sure."

Ronaldo will feature in his first match of 2013 tonight, when the Spanish champions host Real Sociedad.
