Cristiano Ronaldo stars in GQ cover shoot with Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio

As you'd expect, the football star, who placed second in the 2015 Ballon d'Or standings earlier this week, is in pretty good shape.

Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo appears on the latest cover of men's magazine GQ alongside model Allesandra Ambrosio.

The former Manchester United star is topless on the cover, with he and Ambrosia wearing nothing but their underwear.

As you'd expect, Ronaldo's body is bronzed and well toned, while his model counterpart is clearly also in fine shape.

In October 2015, Ronaldo shared a video of him and Ambrosio on Twitter, with the pair both commenting about a secret project they had been working on together.

Speaking in the video posted on Twitter, Ronaldo said: "Hi guys, we've finished photo-shooting, it was amazing filming with Alessandra, she is fantastic, she does a fantastic job.

Photoshoot with @AngelAlessandra for a special project. Great meeting her, a lot of fun. http://t.co/wzv2kBB4Zz pic.twitter.com/pyWUUZvbVS

"We are not going to say what we did because it's a secret, we hope you are going to like it."

Ambrosio reciprocated the praise, saying: "I had a great time with you.

"You're an amazing person, a super-nice guy and I hope you guys have fun and it's a top secret project so you're not going to find out."

Well, thanks to GQ, that project is no longer a secret.
