Cristiano Ronaldo – 5 things that come to mind?

#2 Portugal captain

The trophy Cristiano loves the most

I will be honest here and come clean about this, I once thought that both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi won't make great captains and while the jury is still out for the Argentine, the Portugal captain has proven himself as the better one in this regard.

It is not just because of the fact that he has won an international trophy with his country, but the way he inspires his team with his vocal power and driving nature. One could have seen his passion and spirit during Portugal's final against France, where he was rallying his team-mates from the sidelines after being forced off the field due to injury.

That day, it became clear that he is a leader and can galvanise his troops like a captain does. At the end of the day, he had a Euro trophy on his resume – further amplifying his already ever-burgeoning status in the football fraternity.
