Everything You Need To Know About Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo is a famous football athlete—not the kind on the NFL, but the traditional equivalent to what we know as soccer. The 27-year-old star athlete is the captain of his national team in Portugal, and the striker for the Real Madrid club. This Portuguese football player is one of the highest-paid in the world. Some argue that he is even the most skilled player in the world, too.
Cristiano, born Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, was born in Madeira, Portugal. He was perhaps set to be a star right from the start. His father gave him the name “Ronaldo” to represent Ronald Reagan. When he was only ten-years-old, Cristiano signed a big contract with Sporting Clube de Portugal. To this day, he is the only player to date who participated in every youth team within one season.
The football star has gone on to win multiple awards, and he is the only player to win all Professional Footballers’ Association and Footballer of the Year award in one year. Cristiano also has records for the most goals scored, and he was also awarded the European Golden Shoe twice. Nothing seems to be slowing this star athlete down, as Cristiano holds onto many of his own records.
