Summary

The definitive biography of Cristiano Ronaldo, named Football Book of the Year at the Cross Sports Book Awards 2016.

Fully updated to include the 2017-18 season and Ronaldo's transfer to Juventus.

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest footballers of all time, a dream he pursued from the age of just 12 when he left his humble origins on Madeira behind.

It wasn't long before he had the biggest clubs in Europe knocking on his door, but it was Manchester United who won the race for his signature. Under the tutelage of Sir Alex Ferguson, Ronaldo developed into the complete footballer and athlete, winning three league titles and a Champions League along the way.

He then became the biggest galáctico of them all when he transferred to Real Madrid for a record-breaking fee. Unprecedented success in the Champions League and a record-equalling five Ballons d'Or followed, before his sensational move to Juventus in the summer of 2018.

Guillem Balagué, respected football journalist and expert on the Spanish game, provides the definitive account of a 21st-century footballing icon.

Content.

I thought it would have more about his life and family and less about futebol. Maybe an update in the future when he get retired would be interesting.

The Greatest

I expected a whole lot more from a man that has achieved so much and someone I truly admire on and off the field.

Terrible

It's very clear from the early stages that the author has a personal dislike for Ronaldo and this continues throughout the book. It's also very poorly written. I'm not a Ronaldo fan but this will definitely put me off buying other books by this author.
