1985-present
Five-time Ballon d'Or winner
Did you know Cristiano Ronaldo has won the Ballon d'Or five times? Imagine being chosen as the world's best player again and again! In this one-minute story you'll meet the man behind the number 7 — a powerful goal-scorer, a tireless trainer, and a worldwide hero who makes kids dream big.
Cristiano Ronaldo was born in 1985 on a small island called Madeira, Portugal. From the early 2000s to today he became famous as a lightning-fast forward who scores with both feet and his head. The single most important thing about him is his drive: constant practice, focus, and the belief that hard work beats talent alone.
His biggest achievements are full of records: five Ballon d'Or awards, five UEFA Champions League titles, and standing as one of the top scorers in club and international football. He captained Portugal to victory at the 2016 European Championship and scored hundreds of goals for clubs like Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and more.
Why does this matter? Cristiano Ronaldo changed football by proving how far focus, fitness, and practice can take you. He inspired millions to train harder, eat better, and believe in themselves. Off the pitch he created a brand, supports charities, and shows that being a champion is about courage, kindness, and never giving up. Could you be next?
