SO Cristiano Ronaldo’s bid for world domination this week takes him into the video gaming world, where he teams up with a troll.

The Real Madrid star has joined forces with Hugo the Troll in a new game for mobiles and tablets, Ronaldo&Hugo: Superstar Skaters.

The pair have to flee from the forever-chasing Paparazzi Pete (rumours Pete is modelled on Guardian chief photographer Mike Boden remain unconfirmed) as they skate around the streets of Warrington...sorry, Las Vegas.

Henrik Kølle, founder and CEO of Hugo Games, says: “We have no doubt Cristiano Ronaldo’s personal qualities, combined with his connection to fans and 200million followers on social media is a perfect match with our own world-famous character, Hugo the Troll.

“We expect that together, they will make a significant impact on the mobile gaming world in the years to come.”

Warrington Guardian: Cristiano Ronaldo scored a first-half equaliser against Manchester United

Let’s hope David James can put it down; the former England keeper blamed a disastrous performance against Newcastle in 1997 on his addiction to Tomb Raider.

Ronaldo is certainly not the first to venture into the gaming world.

Gary Lineker’s Superstar Soccer fame reached the USA, with Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum lovers all battling to get their hands on a copy in 1987.

And it’s not historically just footballers fronting video games, Tiger Woods may have been replaced by Rory McIlroy on the golfing scene, but the likes of Jonah Lomu, rugby union, and Brian Lara, cricket, were among those to also feature in the virtual world.

However, some stars have become more synonymous with their game than real-life sporting heroics.

Colin McRae Rally ran from 1998 until 2011, despite the driver’s death in 2007, while Tony Hawk’s skateboarding series is still going and the 10th entry, Pro Skater 5, will be released later this year.

But first there was Daley Thompson’s Decathlon, based on Konami’s Track & Field, which was released in 1984 following the athlete’s Olympic success, fantastic.

Warrington Guardian:

After Andy Murray’s semi-final exit, the last Briton to win a singles title at the French Open, and the answer to last week’s question, remains as Sue Barker in 1976.

Saturday saw the Champions League final, where Barcelona beat Juventus, but the total revenue generated by the competition via sponsorships, TV, commercial activities etc exceeded €1billion.

Paulo Sousa was part of the last winning Juve side in 1996 and was successful with Dortmund in 1997, but can you name the three other players to have won consecutive Champions League titles?
