První oficiální biografie nejlepšího fotbalisty světa Cristiano Ronaldo je jedním z nejznámějších fotbalistů současnosti, který proslul jak svou hrou, tak rozporuplnou povahou a kontroverzním vystupováním. Již od jeho útlého věku bylo naprosto zřejmé, že má Ronaldo mimořádný sportovní talent, v pouhých dvanácti letech proto opustil rodnou Madeiru a přestěhoval se do Portugalska, aby se stal nejúspěšnějším fotbalovým hráčem planety. Netrvalo dlouho a evropské fotbalové kluby se o něj začaly přetahovat, získal ho však Manchester United, kterému Ronaldo dopomohl ke třem ligovým titulům a vítězství Champions League. Později ho za naprosto astronomickou částku získal Real Madrid, kde však na sebe tento fenomenální fotbalista upozorňoval spíše svým soupeřením s Barcelonou a Lionelem Messim než výraznějšími úspěchy na trávníku.
The Biography
Lionel Messi's career has been a stellar ascent, and shows no signs as yet of slowing down. Born in Rosario in Argentina in 1987, he began playing football at a very young age, and it wasn't long before his skill and potential was noticed in Europe by Barcelona. This book tells his story.

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 the complete footballer and athlete, winning three league titles and a Champions League along the way. He then became the biggest galáctico of them all when he transferred to Real Madrid for a record-breaking fee. However, he has endured a difficult relationship with managers, teammates and the fans - and his time at the club has often been overshadowed by his fierce rivalry with Barcelona and Lionel Messi. Guillem Balagué, respected football journalist and expert on the Spanish game, provides the definitive account of what has made Ronaldo the player and man that he is today.
