Ever wondered what Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo would look like as a giant, robotic titan? Well, thanks to Italian carnival organisers, wonder no more...
The Toe Poke Daily is here every day to bring you all the weirdest stories, quirkiest viral content and top trolling that the internet has to offer, all in one place.
Ronaldo made yet more history at the weekend when he scored in a 10th consecutive match for Juventus in Saturday's 2-1 loss at Hellas Verona, surpassing David Trezeguet's club record in the process.
The Portugal captain's super-human status in Italy was confirmed the following day when he had a stunning tribute paid to him at one of the country's grandest street festivals.
A float bearing Ronaldo's likeness was paraded at the Carnevale di Viareggio on Sunday with the gigantic metallic automaton of the Portugal captain one of the star attractions.
The carnival takes place in Tuscany every year and is widely considered to be one of the most prominent in the country, with enormous papier-mache floats of famous characters and politicians winding through the town.
Ronaldo's float has a steampunk aesthetic, with the Juve "IDOL" towering over just about everything as it proceeded ominously along the street.
Onlookers were left to marvel as their new leader came marching into town.
The silver figure was also partially animated, which only made it even more awe-inspiring as it stood tall with foreboding grey clouds as its backdrop.
"¡Siiiuuu! Bow down before me. I am Ronaldo, eater of worlds/scenic Tuscan towns!"
