Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, born 5 February 1985, plays for Spanish La Liga club Real Madrid and is the captain of the Portuguese national team.
Were his loyalties divided as he palyed against Spain in the Euro-2012 semi-final yesterday?
In 2009, Ronaldo became the most expensive footballer in history after moving from Manchester United to Real Madrid in a transfer worth £80 million (€93.9 million/$131.6 million). In 2012, Diego Maradona declared that Ronaldo was "the best player on the planet."
The youngest child of Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro, a cook, and José Dinis Aveiro, a municipal gardener in Santo António, Madeira, he got his second given name "Ronaldo" after then-U.S. president Ronald Reagan, who was his father's favourite actor. He has one older brother, Hugo, and two older sisters, Elma and Liliana Cátia. His great-grandmother Isabel da Piedade was from Cape Verde.
