In 2008, the perseverance of Ronaldo got results. It was an incredible season for the Portuguese, who won the Premier League, European Golden Shoe, FIFA Best Player, and Ballon d’Or, amongst other honors. A video from 2008 resurfaced recently over social media where CR7 was with his United teammates. Everyone was asked who the greatest soccer player is. Rio Ferdinand replied, “Diego Maradona,” whereas Ronaldo said, “Me.”

And why not? He was making massive strides in his career under Ferguson. His skills and exploits on the field made took him to Real Madrid in a record-breaking transfer in 2009. The five-time Ballon d’Or achieved a lot on the team and individual levels since then. He is considered one of the greatest soccer players presently and is the highest-paid athlete.
