Ronaldo overcame racing heart disease to become of one the fittest athletes on the planet

Not only is he one of the best footballers in the world but also an influential figure amongst the masses. Cristiano Ronaldo’s journey from the streets of Madeira, Funchal to the Santiago Bernabeu is one for the ages.

Growing up in a tiny bedroom with two older sisters and a brother, Ronaldo’s childhood was filled with not only hardships but also happy memories. Ronaldo’s footballing talent saw him move from a small club in Funchal to Sporting Lisbon and then Manchester United and finally to Real Madrid.

The Portuguese footballer conquered many psychological as well as physical hurdles throughout his career to reach the level that he is at today. Although Ronaldo did come out with a documentary movie on his life and career in 2015, the fans would love to see a Hollywood adaptation with a big star, lot of drama and a big budget.
