In 2020, where technology moves faster than light, Cristiano Ronaldo arrived in Turin with an iPod Shuffle. The retro music player is a device from the early 2000s, which Ronaldo sported along with wired Apple earphones. Fans were quick to identify the model of the iPod Ronaldo was using, which is believed to be a 4th generation model. It was rolled out in 2010 and hasn't been updated in over eight years. Arguably one of the best players in the world, Ronaldo ranked second in Forbes list for the highest-paid athletes of the decade. However, watching Ronaldo sport a gadget that is almost obscure in 2020 has sure been a pleasant sight for the fans.
