Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest footballers of all time, a dream he pursued from the age of just twelve when he left his humble origins in 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 a complete footballer and athlete, winning three league titles and a Champions League along the way.
He then became the biggest galactico 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 Balague, the respected football journalist and expert on the Spanish game, provides the definitive account of a twenty-first-century footballing icon.
