Back of the net! Irina Shayk watches from the stands as boyfriend Cristiano Ronaldo nets twice in his 100th Champions League match

It was a veritable goal fest at the Bernabeu on Wednesday evening as Real Madrid romped to a comfortable 4-0 win over FC Copenhagen – and Cristiano Ronaldo was amongst the scorers.
But while the moisturized midfielder celebrated his two headed goals with teammates, Russian girlfriend Irina Shayk idly sent text messages from her vantage point high in the stands, apparently oblivious to her boyfriend’s heroics.
The 27-year-old model was dressed casually in an orange sweater and white skirt while she slumped in a private box, generally alternating her attention between the pitch and her phone for the duration of the match.

Irina started dating Cristiano in 2010 after they met during a photo-shoot for Armani Exchange, but their meetings were periodic at best due to the footballer’s rigorous
training schedule with Real Madrid during a pre-season trip to Los Angeles.
While his global renown as one of the sport’s fin
est midfielders overshadows the catwalk career of his girlfriend, the sultry model will gain further recognition when she makes her acting debut next year.
Irina is set to play Megaro, the wife of Hercules in forthcoming fantasy epic Hercules: The Thracian Wars, with towering star Dwayne Johnson playing the titular lead.

The film – directed by Brett Ratner – will also star Ian McShane, Joseph Fiennes and John Hurt.
Meanwhile Ronaldo is enjoying a fruitful start to the season with his team, having scored five times in his last two Champions League games.
The game against Copenhagen also presented something of a landmark for the Portuguese star as it was his 100th game in the competition.

Cristiano developed a name for himself after signing for Manchester United in 2003 replacing the departed David Beckham on the right side of midfield.
But while his time at the club yielded Premier League and Chamions League medals, it could have been very different had he signed for bitter rivals Arsenal.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said: "He was very close to coming here. He has a number nine shirt with Ronaldo on the back from Arsenal Football Club.
‘What happened was that Carlos Queiroz went to Manchester United and they snapped him away from us because he knew him from Sporting (Lisbon, his former club).
‘That's what life is about. You give your best but sometimes you might find that people are stronger than you. That can happen as well.’
