Ronaldo tried to scare Miralem Pjanic and Wojciech Szczesny on Halloween, as he sported a costume that bore a strong resemblance to that of the critically-acclaimed hit, Joker. Trying to find teammates to scare, Ronaldo bumped into Miralem Pjanic, hoping to scare the Bosnian. Pjanic, however, shared a high-five with Ronaldo and casually proceeded to walk past his teammate in a corridor. 

It was then Wojciech Szczesny's turn to face The Joker. The former Arsenal goalkeeper, however, was also welcoming of Cristiano Ronaldo's Joker. Ronaldo's costume included a mini-Joker on the lower half of his body. Szczesny proceeded to high-five the mini-Joker and go about his work.
