PHOTO: Ronaldo back to his old tricks, tries to sneak extra height in team photo

Cristiano Ronaldo is listed as standing a formidable, by football standards, 6-foot-1.

And the Real Madrid superstar, who scored his team's lone goal in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Barcelona, will go to great lengths to ensure everyone knows, or at least thinks, he is taller than his teammates.

Check out his feet:

Aside from the flashy boots, the biggest takeaway from that second photo has nothing to do with Ronaldo and his tippy-toes. No, the biggest takeaway is that Luka Modric can crush a walnut with his calves.

As for Ronaldo, at least he's consistent. Here are a few team photos that show the global icon stealing a couple extra inches on the regular.

We're not mad at you, Cristiano. There are plenty of men out there who would do far worse things to be over six-feet tall. You, short guy, we're looking at you. Don't lie.
