Boots Of The Match: Ronaldo Switches Back Into Mercurial IX 2010 Edition

Seems like the on field screening of the SE CR7 is over, as Ronaldo switched back into the Mercurial IX 2010 edition on Tuesday night against Bayern Munich. Fortunately for Madrid fans, he didn't skip a beat, netting twice while raising his Champions League goal tally to 16 this year, the most ever. And the 4-0 win for Los Blancos didn't go without some pretty funny memes about Munich, so we put a list of the best ones below :)

As for the rest of the boot world, John Terry opted to wear the Nike Tiempo Legend IV, Mascherano followed suit in wearing an old color scheme of the Nike CTR360 Maestri III, Chicarito received the Nike Mercurial Vapor IX SE MVXV (hopefully he wears them on the pitch), and much more.

Boots Of The Match: Ronaldo Wears Special Edition CR7

After many delays to the boot's debut, Ronaldo finally was able to wear the much anticipated CR7 boots versus Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Leading his side to a 1-0 win, we'll see if Ronaldo chooses to continue to wear them, as Real Madrid still must finish the job next week in Germany. The all white upper with a gold bottom was a unique look to not only Cristinano Ronaldo but to the design of boots in general, which explains all the hype around the boot's debut on the field.

As for the rest of the boot world, Casillas laced up in the adidas Predator LZ earth pack, David Luiz opted to wear a bright crimson Nike CTR360 vs Atletico, Mascherano trained in a throwback colorway of the Nike CTR360 Maestri III, Cazorla again wears a PUMA evoSPEED whiteout prototype, and much more.
