Goal kiss for babe

DESPITE some sloppy work on the pitch, kiss-tiano Ronaldo STILL scores a cracker.

For football's hottest player has been sending smackers into the stands of Old Trafford-and we can reveal they are for his SECRET striker Nereida Gallardo.

The Portuguese wizard is celebrating his goals for Manchester United with a series of cheek-seeking smooches, which make their way through the 76,000-strong crowd and find his Spanish model.

Ronaldo, 23, has netted a devastating 36 goals this season-but judging by our sexy snap of Nereida, 24, his bust is yet to come.

Last night a friend of the goal-scoring sensation confirmed: "A player asked Cristiano about the kisses he'd been blowing and he admitted he's got a new girl. Ronny's pretty smitten." The king of the wing has been desperate to keep his relationship quiet but, unlike the Premier League's top defenders, the News of the World is one step-over ahead of the trickster.

Ronaldo, who once dated jungle babe Gemma Atkinson, has been seeing Nereida since January. He flies the raven-haired pin-up from her home in Majorca to watch him in action for United.

The pal explained: "She's at most of the games with Ronaldo's cousin, Nuno. People wrongly assumed she was with him."
