When Barcelona's Andres Iniesta bested teammate Lionel Messi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo to win UEFA's Best Player in Europe award, Ronaldo made a very familiar looking facial expression -- captured by soccer columnist Ives Galarcep.


Many observers thought Ronaldo would win the award, even Iniesta himself.

"Is this is mine or do I have to present it to someone else?" Ineisa said. "It has my name on it so...I get to keep this? I seriously get to keep this? They're not going to dump pig's blood on me and laugh now, are they?" (CORRECTION: This quote was actually a joke, but it's still pretty funny. Thanks Dirty Tackle)

In case you missed it, American gymnast McKayla Maroney's side-frown became a meme after she placed second in the vault final at the London Olympics this summer.
