Born Cristiano Ronaldo Dos Santos Aveiro, the Portuguese
international and ex Man United is unarguably
the greatest footballer to ever step on the pitch. His humble beginnings, impressive career , fascinating ability and technique, and jaw dropping statistics setting a new milestone in the history of the game.
Excelling in every aspect of the game, left- right foot fines shooting, ankle breaking dribbling, high jumping, and unmatched speed behind the ball, the Real Madrid number 7 offers the complete striker package, constantly evolving and striving towards perfection.
Despite his gorgeous game, highly regarded achievements and inspiring character to millions of young fans, CR7 is constantly under attack by ignorants and critics who undermine his
superiority to Barcelona superstar,
Lionel Messi. He is also labeled a "cry baby" and a "diver" when in fact he is highly respectful of his opponents and the game and stands tall and strong ( literally)under great pressure, where he is
comfortable and scores recording setting goals in all competitions.
The facts speak for themselves ( look em up!), and despite the great friction between him and the Argentinian # 10, Ronaldo has come on top in the past few years, and beaten Messi and Barcelona in numerous encounters ( scoring the longest streak of goals for any Madrid player). Sadly, he is held back from winning the Ballon d'Or as a result from UEFA favoritism of Messi.
"Whose the player that scored that decisive goal against
Manchester United in the
Champions League Round of 16, and held back from celebrating, apologetically raising his hands to the crowd?"
"Thats former Red Devil Cristiano Ronaldo."
"Whose
the freak that scored two goals against Barcelona for the Copa Del Rey lastnight!?!?"
"Cristiano Ronaldo!! None other!"
