People love to hate on Cristiano Ronaldo, and according to him it’s because they're jealous of his success.
So, with that confident statement in mind, it’s only fair to ask: Did fame change Ronaldo’s play? Or is he just getting older?
We can probably debunk the getting older argument — Ronaldo crushed his recent Juventus fitness tests.
Cristiano Ronaldo is officially the highest paid footballer of all time.
The Juventus star eclipsed $1 billion in pre-tax career earnings in 2019, the first soccer player to accomplish the feat, according to Forbes.

The Swiss tennis great, owner of a men's record 20 Grand Slam singles titles, earned $106.3 million in the last 12 months, including $100 million via endorsements, to move up four places and become the first player from his sport to top the list.
Cristiano Ronaldo must have seen the hurtful comments about a photo taken of him in his car on his way to rejoin Juventus in training. The Portuguese star has decided to drop the man-bun and throw it old school with this early 2000s hairstyle.
TURIN — Five-times World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo rejoined Serie A champions Juventus for training on Tuesday after an absence of 72 days that included the last two weeks in quarantine.

Italy's Serie A clubs voted in a favor of restarting the season on June 13 during a general assembly on Wednesday, if the government allows.

We all know the true worth of a footballer is measured by how they perform against the best of the best, when everything is on the line. In men’s soccer, there is no stronger barometer of greatness than how one fares against the U.S. men’s national team. So to resolve the Ronaldo vs Messi debate once and for all, here’s a look at how the two GOATs have performed against Michael Bradley and Co.
At the turn of the century, Sporting Lisbon was home to three of the most exciting teenage prospects Europe had ever seen.
The 2001-02 campaign saw Sporting capture its 18th Primeira Liga title (a number they haven’t added to since) and the Taça de Portugal. Two of the three aforementioned prodigies played massive roles in that campaign: the 17-year-old duo of Ricardo Quaresma and Hugo Viana.
The players and staff at Serie A clubs should be tested for coronavirus and then isolated in training camps when they begin preparing for the re-start of the season, the Italian football federation (FIGC) recommended on Wednesday.
