THE 202's video: Cristiano Ronaldo - Skills and Goals 2016 17

Cristiano Ronaldo: Skills and Goals 2016/17 Video idea by cr7 A much-vaunted prodigy when snapped up by Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon in 2003, Ronaldo is now, alongside Lionel Messi, the best-known player on the planet, and a hero for Real Madrid and Portugal.  It had been expected that Ronaldo would be eased in gently to the first-team picture at Old Trafford but a captivating cameo on his debut against Bolton Wanderers gave a glimpse of a special talent that could not be held back. By the end of his first season, he had his first trophy -- scoring the opening goal in the FA Cup final victory over Millwall.  Ronaldo kept getting better and better with each season that passed and so confident was Sir Alex Ferguson in the young Portuguese's abilities that he began to build a team around him, even selling prolific terrace hero Ruud van Nistelrooy. It took a couple of years for the risk to come off but in 2006-07 United started to really reap the rewards; Ronaldo broke the 20-goal barrier for the first time, with 17 coming in the league -- including a majestic solo effort to secure a late victory at Fulham, hailed as one of the key results in the race for the title. Ronaldo and United went a step forward the following season, as the Red Devils No. 7 plundered an unbelievable 42 goals across all competitions as United won another Premier League title, and he added a Champions League winners' medal to his collection, scoring in the final against Chelsea, though he did miss a penalty in the ultimately victorious shootout. Ronaldo's performances saw him crowned the 2008 FIFA World Player of the Year and that summer, Real Madrid -- Ronaldo's boyhood club -- came calling. Ferguson refused to part with his star man, insisting he would "not sell that club a virus," such was his unhappiness with the way they pursued Ronaldo. The player himself was initially frustrated at not being able to move but, still at Old Trafford, set about his job in his customary fashion. Twenty-six goals in 53 games helped United to a third successive Premier League title and Ronaldo hit crucial goals in the quarterfinal against Porto and semifinal against Arsenal as Ferguson's side reached another Champions League final. Barcelona were the opponents in Rome in 2009 but it was not to be a happy night for Ronaldo -- upstaged by Lionel Messi, Barca won 2-0 in a match that proved to be Ronaldo's last in a United shirt. Just a few weeks later, Ronaldo made a world record £80 million move to Madrid, fulfilling a lifetime ambition as he became a Bernabeugalactico. Totally unfazed by the price tag, Ronaldo hit 33 goals in 35 games in his first season; that was, however, only the start of things to come. The 2010-11 season saw Ronaldo earn thePichichi as La Liga's top scorer with a remarkable 40 goals in 34 games, while he also scored the winning goal against Real Madrid's bitter rivals Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final. Ronaldo's upward curve continued in 2011-12 as he won the Primera Division title with Real, netting 46 goals in 38 games along the way. In any other year it would have been enough to win the FIFA Ballon d'Or but despite his outrageous strike-rate was bettered by Barca rival Messi, whose 73 goals earned the Argentine the individual prize.
