With a huge talent and big ambitions, that’s how Cristiano Ronaldo started his footballing career like many other players. But, talent alone is never enough. It must be accompanied by several key factors: Hard work, self-confidence, and a strong personality. This is the story Cristiano Ronaldo’s beginnings, and how he ascended to the pinnacle of Football.

From the islands of Madeira and in particular the capital Funchal, to the capital of Portugal Lisbon with Sporting, until his arrival to England with Manchester United. Watch how a young Cristiano Ronaldo developed his talent through these chapters of his footballing life and how he overcame some troubles both on and off the pitch on his way to win many titles like the English Premier League, the Champions League, the FA cup, and most importantly for him the Ballon d’Or.

All of this and more can be seen in this long and packed episode.

  1. Cristiano Renaldo- His name implies that he came from a Christian background? Christ- Christian- Cristiano. Can anyone shed light? “And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. ”
    Acts 11:26

  2. in 19:29 bro in those seconds look how he dribbled like messi easily everytime he had the ball people say he was never known even before 2014 man there mad i care for cristiano from haters like hes my dad

  3. People forget that this guy had a career ending injury but continued fighting to the end that’s why his the greatest of all time at least in my opinion I can’t talk for everyone but for he is the greatest footballer for me his my fav footballer I watch his highlights are my favourite 🐐🇵🇹 Suii goat

  4. Imagine if he joined Arsenal instead 😳 im not so sure Arsenal would have ended up having that barren period that they did. He still would have joined Real eventually of that im certain.

  5. I was supporting man chester united 2008 I choose it first I know a friend of mine called osas and esan close to my house we rented know what was on my mind because I was suspecting the things that were happening that time, I already say before even get to know which is it my kind my person self the way, so so bad and quick the way he talk and I change from supporting Manchester United to Barcelona, which I am a Barcelona fan now

  6. I see debate between CR7 and Messi. So let's start from where they started. Messi is god gifted and he started his career with Ronaldinho, Xavi, Iniesta etc. Ronaldo had talent but he started in Portugal and he worked hard to be one of the greatest. So respect for both of them. Will be hard to see them retiring. They offered us 20 years of pure magic.❤
