[digg=http://digg.com/soccer/Uzbek_Kid_vs_Cristiano_Ronaldo_in_Freestyle]Over the Christmas period, Real Madrid and Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo spent a day in Uzbekistan (supposedly for a hefty $860,000 payment) doing little more than gracing the locals with his presence.

During his whirlwind tour of the oil-rich country’s capital city Tashkent, Ronaldo made a stop at FC Bunyodkor to perform some ball tricks in front of some 8,000 soccer fans. However, a local youth stole the show from La Liga’s best known freestyler with some nifty moves of his own. Here’s viral video of the two battling it out.
