Can Gareth Bale become the best player in the world? He has the potential, but just what kind of player will he be when and/or if he ascends to that status? What kind of person will he be?
In a rare moment of emotion, Cristiano Ronaldo revealed how former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Reguson won the Portuguese superstar over: compassion.
Really, it's not compassion, it's just acting like a person. You should be able to visit your dad in the hospital without work standing in the way. A lot of managers nowadays it seems feel that football is the only thing that matters. Everything else is secondary.
No amount of wishing can make this video real.
We know this because the amount of wishing we're using to wish this video was real would kill a lesser soccer website. Kill it stone dead.
Cristiano Ronaldo just scored the 500th goal of his career. He has scored it during Real Madrid’s match against Valencia.
500 - Cristiano Ronaldo has scored his 500th goal in his professional career (club and country). Proclaimer.

You don’t need us to bring you the not-so-breaking news that Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the finest, most decorated players of his generation, or indeed any generation. He’s won domestic league titles aplenty, two Champions League titles, three Ballon d’Ors and three Golden Boots for being Europe's top scorer.
"Senna" is one of the best sports documentaries we've seen. It holds its own in a genre that's been increasingly crowded with quality films, especially since the launch of ESPN's 30 for 30 series.
Ostensibly, "Senna" has very little to do with Cristiano Ronaldo, but that's about to change. The team behind "Senna" has produced a documentary about the Portuguese superstar that looks at the life of one of the most recognizable athletes in the world, and how he got to be one of the most recognizable athletes in the world.
Cristiano Ronaldo transfer speculation is rife again even though the transfer window only closed at the start of September and Real Madrid won’t release the world’s No. 1 footballer until next summer (at the earliest).
As befits a player of his caliber, Ronaldo is being most closely linked with two mega-rich clubs: his former team, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain.
Well, the rivalry between the two best footballers in the world has taken a turn for the more intense.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo had a heated confrontation on the pitch during a recent Classico. Harsh words were exchanged. Gestures were used in an angry manner. Not surprising from two of the most competitive people on the planet, but goodness guys there were children watching.
When Real Madrid played Espanyol two weekends ago, no one expected anything other than a commanding Madrid victory, and that’s exactly what happened. No one player was a bigger manifestation of that dominance than Cristiano Ronaldo. He scored 5 goals that day, ending the season’s first prematurely controversial goal drought at just 2 games. He would go on to score a hat trick three days later in the Champions League.
Playing like Cristiano Ronaldo may seem like an impossible thing to teach, and in many ways it probably is. You and I don’t have the talent, speed and athleticism of Cristiano Ronaldo, so what hope do we have of ever playing like him? Well, more than you might think. We are going to tell you how to play like Cristiano Ronaldo. Or, at least, try to play like Ronaldo. And, make no mistake, “try” is going to be the operative word here.
