 PERSONAL…
• Date of birth: February 5, 1985

• Birth name: Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro

 He is the top international score of all time for Portugal.

Winner of the Golden Ball Player of the Year award five times
(2008, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017), and the Golden Boot four
times (2007-08, 2010-11, 2013-14 and 2014-15).

One of his acts of charity was paying for brain surgery on a 10-
month-old boy.

Other acts have included raising money for survivors of the

2004 Indonesian tsunami and paying for treatment for a 9-year-
old cancer patient.

His father chose his name inspired by the former president of

the United States Ronald Reagan.
Another little-known fact about Cristiano Ronaldo is his
African descent. Despite the fact that the Portuguese star
was born in Santo Antonio, a small town in Funchal,
Madeira; the great-grandmother of the Juventus forward,
Isabel Da Piedade, was originally from the Cape Verde
Islands, a Portuguese region located on the African
continent.
Cristiano Ronaldo has also sought to help his family, mainly his
broté, who after being an alcoholic, managed to recover from
Cristiano's hand. CR7 has a paint factory, the same in which his
brother is the manager, in addition, Hugo Aveiro, Cristiano's
brother, also manages the Juventus Soccer Player Museum,
which is located in his native land. This is because alcohol
ended up costing his father his life, and the Portuguese
footballer was not willing to see his brother follow the same
path.
