Southampton's Graziano Pelle Says He's Better Looking Than Cristiano Ronaldo

Graziano Pelle has been in good form this season for surprising Southampton, so it only makes sense that the Italian's confidence is sky-high at the moment. 

One tends to get very confident when scoring goals of the following variety:

But his confidence has him eyeing a very lofty target: Cristiano Ronaldo. 

Not his footballing abilities, though—his looks. 

In his new book, Pelle Talks, 1,000 Questions and More, he's asked who he thinks is better looking: himself or Ronaldo? 

"Me," he says, according to the Daily Mail's translation (via The Score). "Cristiano is good looking but I am a little bit taller." 

He later compares himself to George Clooney. Shots. Fired. 

He's on to something with the height thing, as it's well known that Ronaldo wants to look a bit taller.

But will Ronaldo, oh he of underwear-modeling fame, stand for this slight? 

Time will only tell.
