'Ronaldo', an intimate look into the Portuguese star's life

Posted Wednesday, November 04, 2015 by Marca.com

The documentary has been advertised under the slogan "meet the man behind the myth". It does just that. After watching it, you feel as though you know the Portuguese star that little bit better.

Cristiano is competitive and a perfectionist. He himself admits that he always wants more. That said, he also has a more reserved and family-oriented side. In fact, his family, especially his son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, are a huge part of his life. The documentary also talks about the footballer's decision not to divulge the mother's name.

The Portuguese star's fans are given an honest and moving insight into not just Ronaldo the footballer, but also Cristiano the father, family man and friend.

With footage and photos provided by Cristiano himself, the documentary delves into his childhood, how hard it was to leave his family to achieve his dream and his life as a parent. Directed by Anthony Wonke, the cameras followed the Real Madrid man over the course of a year, from the moment he picked up his second Ballon d'Or in January 2014 until he repeated the feat a year later. Along the way, success and failure. From 'La Décima', to Portugal's painful World Cup defeat to Germany.

The three-time Ballon d'Or winner speaks openly about his personality, his friendships and even his rivalry with Leo Messi. The documentary on Real Madrid's all-time top goalscorer will get its premiere on 9th November.
