Ronaldo shows off £1.85 million diamond watch before Man Utd clash

Cristiano Ronaldo sported a customised watch at his press conference on Monday night that appeared to be modelled on the Jacob&Co Caviar Tourbillon range.
The emerald version in the collection fetches an eye-watering £1.85 million, although the Juventus’ forward's timepiece appeared to have been finished with 424 glistening white diamonds.
A similarly flashy customised watch, which appears to have been designed by Franck Muller, was bought by rapper Wizkid who is said to have paid $1.2m (£850,000).
Ronaldo is back in Manchester to take on his former club in the Champions League as the Portuguese prepares to line up for Juventus in the eagerly anticipated Group H showdown at Old Trafford.
It is some upgrade on Ronaldo's wrist after the Portuguese star was previously spotted sporting a £100,000 Jacob and Company limited edition H24 with a total diamond weight of 15.25 carats.
He became a brand ambassador for Jacob&Co back in 2013 while at Real Madrid and is now showing off one of their most expensive assets from the collection.
Ronaldo unsurprisngly blows other star names in football out of the water when it comes to the cost of his watch of choice but he has some catching up to do if he wants the most expensive in the world of sport.
Floyd Mayweather, according to Forbes' calculations, boasts a £14m billionaire diamond tourbillon watch.

Jurgen Klopp storms onto pitch and rages at Liverpool star after Chelsea lows

Jurgen Klopp  made a beeline for summer signing Xherdan Shaqiri and gave him some animated feedback on his performance in Liverpool’s defeat to Chelsea on Wednesday evening. The Reds took a second-half lead at Anfield in the Carabao Cup through Daniel Sturridge, but were stung late on by a tap-in from full-back Emerson before  Eden Hazard scored an incredible solo goal to put the visitors into the next round. At full-time, Klopp exchanged pleasantries with Maurizio Sarri and the Chelsea bench, but then walked onto the pitch to seek out Shaqiri. The Swiss star had a rather frustrating evening, wasting a number of chances on the break as Chelsea pushed for an equaliser, and Klopp seemed furious with his winger.
