Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the greatest footballers of all time, is portrayed in an anecdote as extremely disciplined and ambitious, but also as a person with a tragic past. His hard training and self-control have made him one of the most successful goalscorers, although he is often criticized for his vanity and self-centeredness. Nevertheless, everyone respects him, even if he is not as popular as his rival Messi.

There is an anecdote about Cristiano Ronaldo that is passed down from athlete to athlete in a bizarre game of Chinese whispers and breathed out with reverence. It may be true, it may be made up, but it has definitely become a myth. After Real Madrid’s legendary tenth Champions League title, “La Décima”, he is said to have asked a teammate during the celebrations if he could try a sip of his Coca-Cola. When asked why he didn’t order one for himself, he replied that a sip was enough to celebrate the success. This was the biggest transgression of his rigorous discipline that Ronaldo allowed himself that evening.
