Portugal has won the Nations League again, and Cristiano Ronaldo is at the heart of this success. Europe is once again praising him, millions of fans are crying for him, and social networks are discussing his every move. The reason is clear: he is one of the brightest icons of 21st century football.
Ronaldo has undoubtedly become a phenomenon in the world of football. He is a completely different person. Comparisons with Messi are always made: Messi is the epitome of natural talent and a unique delicacy, while Ronaldo is an athlete who has achieved his peak through hard work, ambition and mental fortitude.
Leo Messi grew up in the wonderful system at Barcelona, he achieved success thanks to the club's philosophy and his innate genius. Ronaldo, on the other hand, has created opportunities for himself throughout his career, overcoming trials and obstacles with hard work, patience and a willingness to change.
His years in the gym have shaped his strong physique. Thousands of repeated shots are the basis of accuracy and sharpness. Criticism and pressure in English stadiums strengthened Ronaldo's mental strength.
Today, Ronaldo's list of awards and achievements looks fantastic:
- 5-time Ballon d'Or winner.
- 5-time Champions League winner.
- European champion (2016, with Portugal).
- 2-time Nations League winner.
- The best scorer in the history of the national team.
- The player who scored the most goals in the Champions League.
- The player who scored the most goals in the history of world football - 940+ goals.
The list can be continued, but the most important thing is that Ronaldo achieved all his major victories with Portugal, which was not previously considered a favorite. This makes his strength, spirit and inspiration even more remarkable.
Why has Ronaldo become a football icon?
He is always in the spotlight - he is discussed, argued, criticized or worshipped. Being a football icon means that people talk about you even when you are not on the pitch.
Messi may be the purest face of football. But Ronaldo has become the symbol of an entire era, a new development of football. And this era is not over yet: he will be able to play on the field at the age of 40 in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a symbol of hard work, ambition, perseverance and one of the greatest legends in the history of football. His inspiration will remain an inexhaustible source for future generations. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
