Imagine growing up dirt poor , your dad was alcoholic slowly losing grip of life and then many years later to be on top of the world , Ronaldo is one of the greatest examples that’s anything is possible with hard work and determination.

Cristiano Ronaldo in my opinion is the best player since 2004 in Eurocup. I like this kind of players. He always want to be the best. Congratulations Ronaldo!!!
@@adarshshouryasingh1810it’s good to have him as your idol and your favourite player to watch of all time, but it’s fine if you accept he’s not the best ever but your favourite of all time
ronaldo once said he can do the skills even today in an interview, he just doesnt do because now hes a teamworker and works for the team by scoring goals and passing rather than just dribbling
@@thedictationofallah he did but look at the comments these were written when ronaldo was in prime...Idk but ig ppl value only showboating rather than actual achievement lol😂😂
The best player in the planet for 10 years, amazing. Greatest of all time for sure. I'm sorry all Messi fans but no one in footballs history has ever kepts such consistency for so long, look at the numbers : 50 - Ronaldo has scored 50 or more goals in six of his eight seasons for Real Madrid. 61 - His best campaign came in 2014-15, where he scored 61 goals across all competitions. 16 - Ronaldo has scored 16 times against Madrid's fierce rivals Barcelona, while his favourite opponents have been Sevilla (25 goals). 0 - No players have scored 40 or more goals for a Premier League side in one season since Ronaldo did so for Manchester United in 2007-08. 45 - The forward has scored an impressive 45 goals from direct free-kicks in his club career. 5 - Ronaldo has scored five times in a game twice - against Espanyol and Granada (both in 2015) - and had a further five games where he scored four goals. 43 - Ronaldo has scored three or more goals on 43 occasions in a match at club level, seven of those hat-tricks coming in the Champions League - a record he shares with Lionel Messi. 285 - Since moving to Real Madrid, the attacker has scored 285 goals - a tally only beaten by Lionel Messi (295). The next best (Karim Benzema) is way back on 122. 105 - Ronaldo is the top all-time Champions League goalscorer with 105, 11 clear of closest challenger Messi. 54 - Ronaldo has scored 54 goals in the knockout stages of the Champions League, putting him way clear of Lionel Messi (37) and Thomas Muller (19) as the most prolific. 3 - The 32-year-old has scored in three different Champions League finals (2008, 2014 and 2017) - a record.
Y si ya estamos 2023, regreso a ver donde todo empezo, recordando lo hermoso que fue y triste de que estoy viviendo ya los últimos años de una increible rivalidad.
Cristiano Ronaldo absolutely deserved it for 2008 because that year he was far better than everyone else & moreover he even won a perfect double with Man Utd. ONLY he deserved to win World Player of the year for 2008.
ronaldo got more first place votes (136) than torres(13), messi(76), kaka(15) and xavi(22) put together! and more of the overall vote (935) -which includes 2nd and 3rd place votes- than torres(203) and messi(678) put together! viva ronaldo! worlds best player
Lol why were Xavi and Messi even in that list? In 2008 Messi and Xavi weren't in that level which they reached in 2009. Barcelona in general were terrible that year : Liga BBVA table - Real Madrid 86 points Valencia 72 points Barcelona 66 points half of the squads of Chelsea and Man Utd in that year were better than Messi and Xavi. For example : Cech, Drogba, Lampard, Rooney, Van Der Saar
+Tom Bekhor Xavi was voted as the best player in the UEFA European Championchip 2008 and he won the titel with Spain. He also was good in the first round of the season 08/09. I dont know why Messi was second place but maybe of his amazing first round in 08/09. He also came to the semi final with Barca in the CL.
Messi has won it for the last two years now, if they give the award to him again I think the whole point of the award will lose value because it'll become so unbelievably predictable each year. No-one has won it three years in a row, and considering Cristiano Ronaldo has had two magnificent first seasons for Real Madrid, and being the top-scorer in Spain last season, he deserves the award in my opinion, because he's had to come into a new league with a new group of players around him, and he's
Poor Ronaldo, The only player in his teams (Man and Madrid, Portugal) to even end up in the Top 5 voting every year..None of his team mates come close to him. And we all know about Messi's team mates
2013 ballon dor goes to ronalllllllllllldooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....messi was good so as ribery was better but ronaldo was the best!!!
