Boy asks for Cristiano Ronaldo-style haircut - but dad gives it to Phenomenon in a bad joke

A boy ended up giving Ronaldo's haircut the wrong way in a cruel prank played on him by his father.

In a video that went viral, a boy wearing a Chelsea shirt explains to an elderly man that he wants to have the same haircut as 'Ronaldo' and shows him a picture of Cristiano in a Juventus shirt.

However, the father had other ideas and decided to make his son look like the Brazilian Ronaldo with an infamous half haircut.

The boy, outraged by the haircut he sees when he looks in the mirror, lashes out at his father - while he just laughs hysterically: "There's only one Ronaldo!" – bringing a picture of 'Il Fenomeno'.

Ronaldo played in the 2002 World Cup, where he scored eight goals as Brazil became world champions for the fifth time in South Korea and Japan.

Years later, the two-time Ballon d'Or winner revealed that he had adopted the quirky style to draw attention to an injury he had.

"I had a leg injury and everyone was talking about it," Ronaldo said on this issue, according to ESPN.

"I decided to cut my hair and leave a small part in front. I come to training and everyone saw me with a bad cut".

"Everyone talked about the hair and forgot about the injury. I could stay calmer and focus on my training."
