Ronaldo is Picasso
Sepp Blatter has backed Cristiano Ronaldo's £80million move to Real Madrid, claiming: He is football's Picasso.
The outspoken FIFA president insists no one should be shocked by the world record move for the Manchester United ace.
He believes that, despite the financial meltdown, Ronaldo's price-tag is acceptable.
Blatter said: "We are in a sensitive market at the moment and there is an economic crisis.
"But football is a good product and we are giving people what they want.
"It is the game of the people and full of emotions. Football needs to have stars like Ronaldo.
