Cristiano Ronaldo welcomed the club that gave him his first start as a professional footballer to the home of the club that he has said he hopes will give him his last. Sporting CP visited the Bernabeu Wednesday and it looked an awful lot like they would leave with three points.

Cristiano Ronaldo is more than just a superstar footballer and international playboy: he's also a Dad, and part of being a Dad is putting a silly object on your head once in a while.
Look at this photo on Cristiano's Instagram, confirming his Dadness. We should explain what we mean by "Dad": Cristiano's son is six years old, so Cristiano has been a father for that amount of time. He hasn't truly been a Dad, though, until this photo surfaced. Being a Dad isn't merely being a male with a child, it's a state of mind, and this state of mind is on full display.
After two months on the sideline following the injury he suffered during the Euro 2016 Final, Cristiano Ronaldo is ready to make his 2016-17 La Liga bow with Real Madrid.

It's been ten years since Cristiano Ronaldo first flirted with the prospect of leaving Manchester United for Real Madrid. We all know he wound up making the switch to the Santiago Bernabeu during the summer of 2009, but Ronaldo’s three extra years at United helped him become the Herculean figure he is today.
Ronaldo's initial itch to leave United stemmed from fear — a fear of backlash from the whole of England after his perceived role in Wayne Rooney's sending off during a 2006 World Cup quarterfinal.
“I uh…I eat a lot of frozen stuff…It’s usually pretty bad, I mean the pictures are always so awesome, you know? It’s like ‘Hell yeah, I’m starved for this lasagna!’ and then you nuke it and the cheese gets all scabby on top and it’s like…it’s like you’re eating a scab…I mean, seriously, what’s that about? It’s like ‘Yo! What ever happened to truth in advertising?’ You know?” -Jesse Pinkman

Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the UEFA Player of the Season, much to the chagrin of one Antoine Griezmann, who thought he merited the win.
Here's what Griezmann told World Soccer earlier this week:
"Without being big-headed, I think I deserve it because I had a great season with my club and with the national team. Maybe I deserve to win the award.
