Consider him the best in history or not, Cristiano Ronaldo is idolized in his home country regardless. After making his debut as an 18-year-old back in 2003, his career with the national side has seen him rack up 147 caps and a record 79 goals.
And in Euro 2016, the Real Madrid star wrote his name in history by becoming the first ever Portugal captain to lead his side to a major trophy – the European Championship – despite being written off by many. In a few months time, Cristiano and Co. must do the same in the 2018 World Cup – silence their critics, that is.
Ahead of the summer tournament, Nike Football has released an awesome ad featuring the 33-year-old titled “Cristiano Ronaldo - Born Leader”. In the short 46-second clip, everything from the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s debut, Euro 2016 final injury, and eventual jubilation is relived in quick flashbacks.
In the video, Ronaldo can be seen sporting Portugal’s newly-unveiled kit for the 2018 World Cup. Watch it all in the ad below.
The Champions League all-time leading scorer has regained his sizzling form in front of goal in 2018. With the attacker currently with the national side during this international break, he is gearing up for an interesting friendly against Mohamed Salah’s Egypt on Friday.
