His track record includes many beautiful goals, awards and titles. Among them are victories in the European Championship, the UEFA Nations League, a record five victories in the Champions League, as well as five Golden Ball awards for the best football player of the year in Europe and four Golden Boot awards for the best striker of the European championships.
The charismatic, talented and attractive forward is recognized by many experts as the most gifted and versatile football player in the world. He is incredibly technical, fast, smart and resilient, has a unique free-kick strike, is capable of equally flawlessly scoring the ball into the opponent's goal with both his right and left foot and masterfully shoots from anywhere on the field.
The services of the leader of the Portuguese national team to the country were awarded the national knightly order of the Infanta Don Henrique and the Order of Merit. In Ronnie’s hometown (as fans call the football star), a museum named after him and a monument more than three meters high appeared.

Scientists at the University of Lisbon even immortalized the name of their famous compatriot in the sky, naming the new discovered galaxy CR7 in his honor. The airport of the island of Madeira, where one of his two bronze busts is installed (the one that netizens considered very awkward and created many Internet memes), also bears the name of the universal athlete. The second is on display at the Real Madrid Museum.
Career of Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo moved from Andronha to Nacional. Interestingly, this club bought it, providing Andronya players with a two-year supply of football uniforms. At the age of 12, the young man moved to Lisbon and entered the Sporting football academy. Cristiano had a hard time at first at the best educational institution in the country - he constantly called home and tearfully asked to pick him up.
But soon the adaptation took place, Cristiano got from the junior team to the main one, and from that moment his rise to fame began:
- On August 15, 2001, when the young man was only 16 years old, a great event happened in his life - he entered the field in a friendly match against the Atlético team and scored his first goal.
- The Liverpool coach was afraid to take the teenager into his team, although he really wanted to. But Alex Ferguson took a risk and invited Cristiano to Manchester United, which, as you know, he did not regret.
- Cristiano Ronaldo scored Manchester United's 1000th goal against the enemy, and from 2004 to 2006 he won the title of "Best Young Footballer". During the period of time that Cristiano played in Manchester, he received a huge number of awards, including the Golden Boot, Golden Ball, and was awarded the title of Best Player and FIFA Player of the Year.
- In 2009, the footballer was bought by Real Madrid for £80 million. And again his successes break all records - he performs brilliantly, wins the love of fans and new titles.
Childhood
The future superstar of world football was born on February 5, 1985 in Funchal, the port city of the island of Madeira, known as the birthplace of Madeira wine. The boy's father, Jose Dinis Aveiro, held the position of equipment manager at the local FC Andorinha (Swallows). Mother, Maria Dolores dos Santos Avey, worked as a cook and cleaner.
Parents of Cristiano Ronaldo in his youth
The family already raised three children of the same age: daughter Elma (1974), son Ugu (1975) and youngest daughter Liliana Katiu (1976). The family lived modestly in a small house overlooking the ocean. All four children shared one room in it.
Brother and sisters of Cristiano Ronaldo
The name "Ronaldo", which is sometimes mistaken for a surname (in fact, the surname of the football player Aveiro), was added to the first name of the future football prodigy. The football player received his middle name in honor of his father’s favorite film actor, Ronald Reagan, who at that time was no longer an actor, but the President of the United States. The forward recalled with warmth his far from simple childhood years. Parents worked hard and tried to ensure that their children received everything they needed and did not need anything. Although, the football player bitterly admitted, his father was drunk almost every day. It was difficult to communicate with him.
Cristiano Ronaldo as a child
But the most expensive of all gifts, which has become a family heirloom, remains to this day for Ronaldo a soccer ball received from his dad when the boy barely learned to walk. Jose suffered from alcohol addiction for many years and died early, at the age of 52, without having time to see all of his son’s outstanding sporting successes.
The future of the youngest son was largely determined by his father’s work at a football club. He introduced him to the wonderful game right from birth, asking him to become the godfather of the baby of Andorinha team captain Fernao Souza. From an early age, the boy never parted with his father’s gift and honed his skills on the streets of the city outskirts of Santo Antonio. Constantly practicing with the ball and becoming the best footballer among his friends, he received the nickname “Kluivert” after the legendary Dutch player.
Mom noticed many natural inclinations in her son. For example, he had a good foundation in the form of lightness, good looks and flexibility to become an excellent dancer or gymnast, had a pleasant voice and could achieve success in the musical field. But she saw how enthusiastically he kicked the ball and agreed for his father to enroll him in the football section of his club at the age of 6.

The boy knew about the importance in football of not only personal skills, but also relationships in the team, the ability to find mutual understanding with partners on the field, and attended training sessions with pleasure. From the very first days, he was distinguished from other guys by his tenacity, brilliant ball control, high speed and passionate desire to win.
Personal life
The young people first saw each other at a fashion show of the Dolce&Gabbana brand in the VIP area approximately in mid-2020. By that time, the girl had already started a modeling career, and the striker of the Spanish national team had already broken up with his previous passion - the winner of the Miss Spain 2014 beauty contest, Desiree Cordero.
Georgina Rodriguez and Cristiano Ronaldo
After meeting, the girl visited the VIP box of the Santiago Bernabeu at one of the Real Madrid games. Together, Georgina and Cristiano first appeared at the French Disneyland in September 2020 in the company of the son of football player Cristiano Jr., who was born to the football player by a surrogate mother in 2010 in an American clinic. It was clear that Ronaldo was hiding the visit from the ubiquitous journalists, as he was wearing dark glasses and a hood. But photographs of the athlete and his new passion appeared on the pages of the Italian publication Chi, and then appeared in the Spanish magazine “Hola!”
Georgina Rodriguez, Cristiano Ronaldo and Cristiano Jr.
On January 9, 2020, the couple openly appeared at the FIFA Football Awards in Zurich while presenting the athlete with his fourth Ballon d'Or Cup, along with Cristiano Jr. and Ronaldo's mother. Numerous photos show that the bomber’s mother, Maria Dolores, is pleased with her son’s choice and strongly supports the young girl. After the award ceremony, Cristiano and Georgina went to the restaurant together to celebrate the special occasion.

Such a quick appearance in society with an attractive girl was also due to the fact that the media had long been circulating rumors about the forward’s unconventional orientation. In 2020, information was leaked to the press from the TV host of the French talk show “Touche pas a mon sport” Daniel Riolo that Cristiano has a close relationship with the Dutch kickboxer of Moroccan origin Badr Hari. In order not to be unfounded, the sports commentator provided evidence in favor of the novel: joint photos of Badr Hari and Cristiano Ronaldo, in which young people constantly hug.

In addition, Spanish journalists conducted an investigation into Ronaldo's private flights to Morocco for a total of $21 million. Rumors about the football player's connection with the kickboxer were not even prevented by the facts about his affairs with girls: Russian supermodel Irina Shayk, Italian model Alessia Tedeschi, Danish model Maya Darving , by Spanish journalist Lucia Villalon.
First steps in big sport
In 1995, the first transfer took place in Cristiano's life. He was bought from Swallows by the leading club of the island, Nacional, who paid for the transfer of the future world football star with several balls, a two-year set of boots and uniforms. Another city professional FC, Maritimo, also wanted to buy the 10-year-old nugget, but preference was given to Nacional, where his godfather also moved.
Young Cristiano Ronaldo at FC Nacional
In the new team, the nimble, thin and fearless Ronaldo rapidly grew in skill. The coaches put the talented ward in games with older opponents, which forced him to progress quickly, learn to think and react to situations with lightning speed. He was nicknamed “Abelinya” (“Bee”) - for his hard work and speedy movements across the field, as if on wings. By the age of twelve, he was already recognized as the best football player in Madeira.
The boy was nicknamed "Bee" for his lightning speed.
In 1997, the young talent was sent for trial to the capital's FC Sporting. For the first time in his life, he then flew on an airplane (accompanied by his mother). But this circumstance did not bother him. He was excited about something else - the event itself, the chance to get into one of the best clubs in Portugal. And he did not miss it - he played brilliantly in a match with older players and was bought by the Lisbon youth academy for 22.5 thousand euros, despite his young age (to write off the debt of his previous club to Sporting).
Lisbon
The first time in the capital, far from home, family and friends, was not easy for 12-year-old Cristiano.
He was bored, endured ridicule for his speech (the island dialect was different from Lisbon), cried into the phone and asked his mother to take him home. But his great desire to play and be first helped him overcome all difficulties. The restless boy spent all his free time in the gym, trying to achieve better results. Because of this, he often had to do his homework at night. Against the background of constant physical and moral stress, Cristiano’s character became explosive and irreconcilable. At the age of 14, he threw a chair at his mentor when he behaved, in the footballer’s words, “disrespectfully.” There was a case when Ronaldo could not cope with his emotions after his own unsuccessful performance and expressed his frustration by destroying the locker room.
Cristiano Ronaldo at Sporting FC
At the age of 15, the young athlete found himself on the operating table. His life was threatened by cardiac arrhythmia, which, fortunately, was detected in time. Doctors did not advise him to continue playing football professionally. Three days after the operation, the purposeful young man returned to training. The youth of Cristiano Ronaldo He went down in the history of the club by showing unprecedented hard work and growth in skill - he became the only student who managed to play in one season for all the squads of the “Lisbon Lions” (as the Sporting players were called). Namely, for the youth teams under 16, under 17, under 18, as well as in the reserve team and in the main team.
Cristiano Ronaldo made his debut for Sporting in 2001, when he was only 16 years old. He entered the field in the second half of a friendly match with the local Atlético FC and immediately scored a goal. That same year, he played brilliantly for the national team in the European Junior Championships. At the age of 17, Ronaldo won the country's Super Cup, although he did not participate in the match at that time.
Sporting became the launching pad for his meteoric career
Many leading European clubs became interested in the talented debutant, including Barcelona, Milan, Chelsea, and Real Madrid. One of the first “buyers” was Gerard Houllier from Liverpool FC. But the contract was offered to the football player not by him, but by Sir Alex Ferguson, the titled coach of the English Manchester United. This happened in 2003, when the Red Devils came to Portugal and played a friendly match with Sporting, unexpectedly losing 3:1. As a result of the transfer, the club then received about 15 million euros for him. 700 times more than what Nacional gave 6 years ago.
England
Since 2003, the Portuguese continued his journey to the football Olympus in the high-class Manchester United team. At first, he received great support from his experienced mentor Alex Ferguson. He gave Cristiano a T-shirt with number seven, which previously belonged to the greatest players in history - George Best, David Beckham, Eric Cantona, which became an additional factor in motivating the young athlete. And the Portuguese immediately proved that he was worthy of the honor.
Cristiano Ronaldo wore number 7 for Manchester United
Ronaldo scored his first goal for the English superclub from a free kick into the top corner with no chance for the goalkeeper in the November match with Portsmouth, which ended with a score of 3:0. And in the spring of 2004, the fans of the “Red Devils” already recognized him as the best player of the season, more than once giving the young football genius a standing ovation. He finished the season by scoring the winning goal against Millwall in the FA Cup Final and earning his first Albion football trophy.
Christian Ronaldo and Alex Ferguson
His salary increased from 2 thousand euros per month to 20 thousand per week. He spent it not on himself, but on helping his family. Thanks to him, my mother stopped working, and my brother was eventually able to recover from drug addiction and become a decorative artist. The eldest of the sisters received a chain of boutiques called CR7, and the youngest began singing under the stage name “Ronalda”.
At the beginning of 2005, the footballer scored a goal and made an assist in a match against Aston Villa. Then he scored two goals in the game against Arsenal. In September, while in Moscow and preparing for a match with the Russian national team, Cristiano received the sad news of the death of his father. A coach helped him cope with his emotional distress. But soon a new test befell the young man - an accusation of gang rape of a girl. Fortunately, it was quickly proven that he was the victim of a slander. However, the athlete became depressed and flew home. Ferguson had to personally fly after him, calm him down and return him to England.
Cristiano Ronaldo's best goals for Manchester United In October, he scored the only goal in the match with Middlesbrough, which ended in a 1:4 defeat for Manchester. But it was this goal that turned out to be the anniversary one and made Manchester United the first club to score 1,000 goals in the Premier League.
Following the results of the games in the 2004/05 season, the Portuguese was awarded the prize for the best young player from the association of professional football players FIFPro. In the following season, a club achievement was added to this award - the Football League Cup. In 2006, he twice won the Premier League Player of the Month title. The next year was marked by Manchester United's victory in the English Championship, and the number of goals Ronaldo scored for the Reds reached fifty.
Cristiano Ronaldo in his youth
But the ball wizard has more than once become the object of fans’ dissatisfaction. The British were especially indignant at his goal during the penalty shoot-out when England and Portugal faced off in the quarter-finals of the 2006 World Cup. The audience booed his mockery of his opponent in the form of deceptive maneuvers, and sometimes indecent gestures, and moments with his falls, which looked like a simulation. However, he received a host of awards at the end of the 2006/07 season, including the PFA Fans' Footballer of the Year award.
In 2007, British media reported that Real Madrid were going to lure the 23-year-old star with a salary of 300 thousand pounds a week and were ready to pay the club 54 million pounds (80 million euros) for the transfer. In order not to lose a talented player, the management signed a new contract with him, increasing his weekly salary to 120 thousand pounds. This circumstance made 22-year-old Cristiano the only such highly rated player in the history of the club. In 2008, Ronaldo scored his first hit-trick for the club in a game with Newcastle FC and acted as team captain for the first time in a meeting with Bolton Wanderers, which ended in a 2-0 victory. He scored both goals, with the second being his 33rd of the season and setting a record for the most goals scored by a winger. His high performance ensured Ronaldo's status as the Premier League's top scorer for the season and the first midfielder in history to receive the Golden Boot. In total, he scored 42 goals during the season. He was four goals short of equaling teammate Denis Law's record of 1963/64. 46 times.
Cristiano Ronaldo on his transfer to Manchester United In the game against Stoke City, which ended in a 5:0 victory, the footballer scored his 100th anniversary and 101st goal. After that, there wasn’t a single team left in the Premier League that he didn’t score against. At the end of the year, he received the Ballon d'Or, significantly ahead of his closest rivals in the voting - Lionel Messi by 165 points and Fernando Torres by 267 points. At the beginning of 2009, he was also awarded the prestigious FIFA Diamond Ball award for the best footballer in the world, adding to his collection of individual trophies, which already included more than a dozen prizes.

Is Cristiano Ronaldo gay?
In the world of famous and rich people there is always a place for gossip, intrigue and provocations. And our hero did not distinguish himself by this. The main topic lately is the orientation of the athlete. And some sources even claim that Cristiano Ronaldo is gay. The football player was always surrounded by model-looking girls and there is no point in jumping to conclusions that he is gay.
There was one incident during a football match with midfielder Koke, who plays for the Atlético team, where the players went so far as to insult each other. Koke called his opponent names and shouted out in anger that he was gay. In the video you can watch this skirmish, where two football players almost throw themselves at each other. Cristiano angrily admitted that he is gay, but a gay millionaire, if anyone wants to hear that.
After such a statement, many wondered if it was true that Cristiano Ronaldo was gay or if it was just a meaningless word that Koke insulted in a rage. But a TV presenter from France in one of his TV shows had a different opinion. He said that Cristiano Ronaldo and his boyfriend vacation together several times a week. For these purposes, Ronaldo bought himself a plane to visit his friend. There are even candid photos where the couple is standing very close to each other.
Income and charity
As of March 2020, Cristiano occupied second position in the ranking of the wealthiest football players in Europe (according to the sports publication L'Equipe).
His salary was 4.7 million euros per month (the leader of the rating, Lionel Messi, had 8.3 million).
