WATCH THE CLIP

<p>That is not the only gift Ronaldo handed out on the night, with Brazilian performer Santana also receiving a late Christmas present. He was handed a Rolex watch by CR7 that is worth £65,000. He performed at the party organised for Ronaldo’s mother at the Savoy Palace in Madeira as the five-time Ballon d’Or winner <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-spectacular-fireworks-show-georgina-rodriguez-suited-booted-new-years-eve-party-portugal/bltf4cea0bd8e7843c2" target="_blank">enjoys a mid-season break</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Santana was stunned to receive his designer gift – with Ronaldo a big fan of expensive watches – and said when taking ownership of a notable memento from the biggest of football icons: “You didn’t do that, no. For God’s sake, man. You know this is my first, right? My first Rolex. What moment! From the hands of man.”</p><center><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/C1knk_rxOj-/?img_index=1" data-instgrm-version="13" style=" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);">
