He scored 9 goals in the first season of Manchester United.
After the season ended he went to Portugal for the Euro 2004
Everyone cheered for them because Euro only happens every 4 years and this could be the chance to take the
trophy home.
Portugal kept on winning all there games with the help of Ronaldo.
They came up to the Finals against Greece when everything they lost 1-0.
Ronaldo was heart broken he was so sad that he cried after the game.
In September 2005 Ronaldo’s dad, Denis unfortunately died because he was alcoholic.
Ronaldo was very sad but he knew that he would be proud of him if he was a live right now.
Ronaldo went back to Madeira for his dad’s funeral ceremony.
When it was time for him to leave he was very sad but he knew he had to move on with his life.
Ronaldo started to get better every day, whenever he had a game he either scored or assisted a goal.
Ronaldo lived in a house in Manchester United with everything he needed tennis court, swimming pool, and other
things.
Ronaldo was also known for his deadly free kicks are called knuckleball.
Here’s a video of his most popular free kick in Manchester United.
Eventually in 2008 he became the best player in the world and he won a lot of trophy's, but the biggest one the
Ballon’Dor.
Other trophy’s that Ronaldo won FIFA world player of the year, the golden boots, world soccer player of the

After the move to Real Madrid the Santiago Bernabeu, he scored his first goal on his debut which was in July 20, 2009.
After a couple of months later he started to get better and better and so he started scoring more goals.
In 2011 it was Ronaldo’s first Final Copa Del Rey match which was against their enemy FC Barcelona.
Every one was watching because the two biggest stars in football were playing, Ronaldo and Messi.
Both teams were so good that it went to extra time, but at the 123 minute Ronaldo scored Real Madrid a beautiful goal that shocked
every one.
In that match Ronaldo managed to grab himself another golden boot for dribbling Messi.
here’s a video of the goal.
After the amazing goal by Ronaldo Real Madrid won the Copa del Rey title.
In 2012 there was another Copa Del Rey Final match which was Real Madrid vs. FC Barcelona again.
This time it was different because Real Madrid knew that Barcelona would play harder on them because of what happened last time.
But even though Barcelona played harder on them Real Madrid managed to grab another win with the score 2-1.
Ronaldo scored more goals every game and eventually he became the 2nd highest scoring player in La Liga.
Ronaldo wasn’t happy even though he was second, he always wanted to be number 1 at every thing and that’s what caused the
Ronaldo vs. Messi debate.
Some people said that Ronaldo’s better and some said that Messi’s better.
Every year there is time where FIFA gives the best player in the world a trophy that’s called the Ballon’Dor
As I told you before Ronaldo has won the Ballon’Dor one time in 2008, but Messi has won it four times in a row in
2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 and that’s another reason why this debate is still going on today.
In summer 2013 the transfer window opened it means that players can get transferred to a team.
Gareth Bale a professional footballer got transferred to Real Madrid for 91 million euros in dollars it will be 123 million dollars!!!!!!!!!!
Gareth Bale broke Ronaldo’s record for the most expensive player in the world every soccer fan was shocked.
Ronaldo was very happy to be playing with but he had to play better.
Big things also happened in Barcelona Neymar a professional soccer player got transferred to Barcelona for 57 million euros.
This was a challenge for both teams to see which one is better.
2013 was a big year for Ronaldo because the Balon’dor awards were coming up.
People were 100% sure that Ronaldo will win because Messi was injured, but even if Messi wasn’t injured there would've been a
chance that Ronaldo could win.
There are three nominees for the Balon’Dor which were Ronaldo, Messi, and Ribery.
The day of the awards, when they announced the winner which was Ronaldo, he got very emotional and cried when he was giving his
speech.
Ronaldo also scored his 400th goal against Celta de Vigo

• I think I did well on this presentation because I
worked really hard on it and I tried my best. I feel
I should get exceeds expectation because I gave a
lot of information about my topic. Also because I
told almost everything about my project. I feel
proud of my self because I know my topic very
well and I did a good job on it. The reason that I
chose Ronaldo for my project is because when I
grow up I want to be like him. I always do my best
when it comes to soccer or any other sport that I
like.
