Last week, global cryptocurrency company Binance revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the greatest footballers ever, had agreed to take part in a lie detector test. The Portuguese footballer has overcome so many obstacles in his career but, when promoting the video on his social media pages, he described it as one of his hardest challenges yet.
Binance have now dropped the video and in it, Ronaldo is asked some very tough questions about his football career, which he answers with either 'yes' or 'no'. He is hooked up to a machine that records whether he is telling the truth or if he is lying.
