Getting ready to ring in the new year, Cristiano Ronaldo and his girlfriend Irina Shayk arrived at Maderia Airport in Funchal on Monday (December 31).

Ever the gentleman, the soccer star managed the couple's bags as his model leading lady looked lovely in a sparkly blue shirt and a grey fur jacket to keep herself warm.

The travels come as the 26-year-old cover girl recently participated in a racy advent countdown as one of the days in Love magazine.

Meanwhile, her Real Madrid hunk has been issuing year end challenges to fans via Twitter with chances to win jerseys and other items.
