Damn Emirates, that is some fine-looking plane decal

Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Sergio Ramos, Karim Benzema or Marcelo? Don’t worry ladies and gentlemen, you don’t need to choose. You can admire them all on this Emirates aircraft.

The attractive soccer players have been painted to the outside of one of the Dubai-based airline’s jumbo jets as part of the carrier’s sponsorship of the Real Madrid team.

Practically life-sized versions of the five players in action now cover more than 500-metres-square of the aircraft.

Fans (or those that simply like a ‘good view’) won’t miss the plane upon approach and are even being encouraged to snap a picture of the aircraft as it travels around the world.

So far, the plane has touched down at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport and will soon take off to other spots including the US where the team will be travelling to this year.

Emirates is the Official Main Sponsor of Real Madrid since 2013 with Fly Emirates branding prominently displayed on the players’ kits.

Earlier this month, Emirates commenced daily passenger service between Newark Liberty International Airport and Dubai International Airport, via Athens International Airport.

Newark became Emirates’ 12th U.S. gateway, and is the second serving the greater Tri-State Area, complementing Emirates’ existing four daily flights from Dubai and John F. Kennedy International Airport. Passengers embarking from Newark and Dubai will have the option to disembark in Athens or continue to their final destinations.

Are you fan of the team or the players?
