#4 Ronaldo’s antics
Cristiano Ronaldo is not only the most popular football figure in the world right now but also the best this year. The Portuguese completed the year with the Club World Cup trophy following his victories at the Euros, Champions League as well as the Ballon d’Or.
Known for his utmost professionalism, one could be mistaken for thinking training sessions with him must be bland. The reality, however, is quite the opposite. As serious as he is on the field, he is twice as fun off it.
As the video depicts, hardly a day goes by without Ronaldo pranking his teammates. With his best friend in the team, Marcelo, by his side all the time, the Portuguese legend jokes around the training ground almost all the time. Although sometimes portrayed as narcissistic, the fact remains that he has been immensely loved by all his teammates throughout his career and that speaks a lot about his character.
