Il Fenomeno! Yes, yes, that’s actually the other one, the Brazilian Ronaldo. But to be honest, the 2002 World Cup scorer has long surpassed his Portuguese namesake. Examples compliant? Cristiano Ronaldo from A to Z:
Academia Cristiano Ronaldo: Last year, the Sporting Lisbon team was named after its most famous protégé.
Ballon d’Or: He received the prestigious award five times – one time less than his eternal nemesis Lionel Messi.
CF Andorinha: His first club, when he was eight. Then it went first to Nacional Funchal – and then towards a world career.
Ronaldo was often ridiculed for his dialect
Ddialect: His special Madeira idiom was often the cause of ridicule in the capital Lisbon when he was young.
Endgame 2016: Portugal won the European Championship in the final against France, although the super star had to be replaced after 25 minutes after an overly tough tackle.
Funchal: He was born in Madeira’s capital, and here they have set him a – let’s say: remarkable – monument.
Georgina Rodrguez: He’s been together with the Spanish-Argentinian model since autumn 2016, and their first child was born in November 2017. CR7 has three other children: a ten-year-old son and twins born by a surrogate mother who will soon be four years old.
Ronaldo is an internationally successful entrepreneur
HErrrhythmus-Disorders: In his youth, they questioned the continuation of his career and even made an operation necessary. In addition, there was an extreme growth spurt that caused him problems.
IInternationally he is also positioned as an entrepreneur: clothing line, perfume series, hotel chain and a clinic for hair transplants in Madrid.
JSporting Lisbon youth academy: he was trained here when he was twelve and stayed for a total of six years. In the 2002/03 season he was used within one season for the U16, U17, U18, reserve teams and the professional team.
Knig of the royal class: He is the first player in the Champions League era to win five titles.
Mama Ronaldo is a chef
Luis Figo: He had to give the Portuguese jersey number 7 when he switched to Real Madrid. Instead, he wore the 9th until Figo’s departure.
Mama: Maria Dolores was a chef in a restaurant. She recently tried to persuade her son to return to Sporting Lisbon: “He will play at the Alvalade next year, I will convince him.”
Nname: His middle name goes back to the former US President Ronald Reagan, his father’s favorite actor.
OOfficer of the Order of the Infante Dom Henrique: He received this chic award in 2004, along with dozens of other prizes. Ten years later he was even appointed senior officer of the Order of the Infante Dom Henrique. Let’s see what else comes up in the matter of Henrique.
Papa: Jos Dinis Aveiro was a gardener, kit manager at the regional league club CF Andorinha and was seriously alcoholic. He died in 2005 of liver and kidney failure.

Ronaldos Record wrden Bcher fllen
Rekorde: They would fill a whole book, here just this much: Ronaldo is the only kicker to win championships in England, Spain and Italy, to be named Footballer of the Year and to be king of goalscoring.
SSocial commitment: Ronaldo is one of the most benevolent athletes of all, is active as a global ambassador for the children’s rights organization “Save the Children” and for several other charities.
Tore, goals, goals: 450 for Real Madrid, 103 for the national team, 134 in the Champions League, of which he was king of scoring seven times. He shares the European Championship record with Platini, who also scored nine times.
United, Manchester: The club made the race for the young star at the beginning of the noughties: in 2003 he moved from Sporting to United under Alex Ferguson. He insisted that he should wear the historical number 7, which George Best, Eric Cantona and David Beckham had already worn. Ronaldo actually wanted to wear 28, like in Lisbon.
