Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, born on February 5th 1985 in Funchal (Madeira) and
commonly known as Cristiano Ronaldo or CR7, is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a forward
for Spanish club Real Madrid and is the captain of the Portuguese national team. Ronaldo was the
most expensive player in football, Real Madrid paid 96 millions of Euros to Manchester United. His
contract with the Spanish team is for 6 years, he earns 13 millions of Euros every year. If another
team wants him, it has to pay around 1000 millions of Euros. Wow…

Ronaldo began his career as a youth player for Andorinha, where he played for two years. Then, he
changed to Nacional and then to Sporting CP. In 1997, Ronaldo’s talent caught the attention of
Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson. He took him to the U.K. paying 12 million pounds
in 2003. The following season, Ronaldo won his first club honor, the FA Cup, and reached the Euro
2004 final with Portugal. It was there when he scored his first international goal.

In 2008, Ronaldo won the Champions League with United, and he was named player of the
tournament. He was also named FIFA World Player of the year and become Manchester United’s
first Balloon d’Or in 40 years. Johan Cruyff said in an interview on 2008 “Ronaldo is better that
George Best and Denis Law who were brilliant and great players in the history of the United”.

Last season 2011-2012 he scored 46 goals in the Spanish League and 10 in the Champions League.
This year he has already scored 13 goals in the league and 6 in the Champions League. He is again
nominated to the Balloon d’Or with Messy and Iniesta. He sometimes has problems with the press
and the public because he is very self assured and insolent. His girlfriend is the Russian model Irina
Shaky.

In Spain, Ronaldo has won 13 trophies, including two La Liga titles, two Copa Del Rey titles, three
Champions League titles and two UEFA Super Cups. After joining Real Madrid, Ronaldo finished
runner-up for the Balloon d'Or three times, behind Lionel Messi, his perceived career rival, before
winning back-to-back Balloons d'Or in 2013 and 2014.

Lionel Andrés Messi, born on 24 June 1987 in Rosario, is an Argentine footballer who actually
plays for Barcelona F.C. and the Argentine national team. He is one of the best football players of
his generation and is frequently considered the world’s best contemporary player. Lionel Messi,
sometimes compared to Maradona, received Balloon d’Or and FIFA World Player of the Year
nominations by the age of 21 and won both with 22. Maradona declared that Messi was his
“successor”.

Messi’s talent was detected by his father, and soon Barcelona wanted him. At the age of 11, he was
diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency; his body didn’t produce enough growth hormone.
The treatment was very expensive. He left his youth team; the Newell’s Old Boys of Rosario in 2000
and moved to Europe with his family. Barcelona F.C. offered him the expensive treatment. He
made his debut in the 2004-2005 seasons and started to break records in the Spanish League: he
was the youngest footballer playing the League and also scoring a goal. He won the League in his
debut and in 2006 the League and the Champions League. In season 2006-2007, he was a first in the
team and scored a hat-trick against Real Madrid. In 2008-2009 he scored 38 goals and won every
single competition with Barcelona. He was a myth!!

became a member of the Argentina’s international team. In 2008, he won his first international
honor, an Olympic gold medal with the Argentina Olympic football team.
