Life

Cristiano Ronaldo was born on the 5th February 1985 on the island of Madeira. He is the youngest of four, with two older sisters, and an older brother. Life was not often easy for the family, as his father drank a lot, and his Mom had to work two jobs to maintain stability for the family.

Ronaldo appeared in over 438 matches with Madrid and scored 451 goals. Not only is that an astonishing statistic, but it has also helped Ronaldo to win the Player of the Year award multiple times.

In fact, Lionel Messi and Ronaldo were the only two players to win the award for 10 years running, until Luka Modric won in 2018.

Ronaldo recently moved to Juventus FC, where he will finish out his career.
