Cristiano Ronaldo: Age, Career, Nationality, Net Worth 2022

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most popular football players in the world at the moment. He is also one of the richest footballers in the world at the moment.

Cristiano Ronaldo Dos Santos Aveiro GOIH ComM is a professional football player from Portugal who plays for the English premier league side, Manchester United, and the Portugal national team. He is also the captain of the Portugal national team. He was born in Madeira, Portugal on February 5th, 1985. He is the youngest of three siblings. Ronaldo’s father was a gardener for the city while his mother was a cook. From the age of 14, the young Ronaldo made it a point to chase his dream of becoming a football player and joined a local club in his hometown known as Nacional in 1995. He later moved to one of the successful clubs in Portugal, Sporting CP after he passed a trial with the club. 

Ronaldo later graduated from the Sporting CP youth team and got promoted to the first team. He scored twice on his debut for Sporting amid some dazzling performances in subsequent games that saw him being scouted by clubs in England such as Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United. 

The young Ronaldo decided to sign for Manchester United and the rest they say is history. He went on to win his first champions league title with the club in 2008. After spending six years at Manchester United, Ronaldo transferred to Spanish giants, Real Madrid, for a whopping $90 million. This made him the most expensive footballer at the time.

Ronaldo has been labeled as one of the best players to ever step foot on a football pitch and has constantly been pitted against PSG star, Lionel Messi, as to who is the best among the two. Some people believe that Ronaldo is the best footballer in history while others believe that it is Messi. Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most consistent football players in history alongside Messi, who is 35, and Swedish star, Ibrahimovic who is 41. At an age when most players fall off their fame and talent and gradually drift out of the limelight by signing for lesser clubs before eventually retiring, Cristiano Ronaldo has been consistent and still manages to perform at the top level at 37 years old.  

However, when it comes to popularity, Cristiano Ronaldo is the most popular sporting athlete ever with more than 500 million followers across Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. He has more than 400 million followers on Instagram alone and is the first person to reach that feat in the world. This makes him the most followed person on social media. When it comes to breaking records, he has also been ahead of every footballer on the planet. Ronaldo broke the record held by retired Brazilian star, Pele, for the most goals scored by footballers in competitions after he hit a hat trick against Cagliari while playing for Juventus in Italy to send his tally to 770 goals. This is just one of the many records he has set and broken since the start of his football career. After his contract at Juventus expired, Ronaldo decided to return to Manchester United and help the team regain its former glory.

Cristiano Ronaldo has also won 5 Ballon D’or awards, putting him second behind Lionel Messi who has won 6. Ronaldo and Messi are the only players in history to have won the prestigious award more than two times
