Cristiano Ronaldo

What would’ve otherwise been a non-story had Real Madrid managed to hold on to their 2-1 lead over Las Palmas on Saturday, Cristiano Ronaldo's 72nd minute substitution has since blown up following Sergio Araujo’s 85th minute equalizer.

Las Palmas held Real Madrid to a 2-2 draw, diminishing Los Blancos' lead at the top of the La Liga table to a single point. The main talking point from the match has now switched to Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane's decision and Ronaldo's reaction.

Xavi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Samuel Eto’o are putting fanboys and internet trolls to shame with their ongoing war of words. It's all starting to sound eerily familiar to anyone who’s ever braved the comment section of any article concerning Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. 

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.

The Portuguese forward spoke at the launch of his new perfume, saying: “I am fine, I’m going to play.”

With the FIFA 17 release date (September 27th) fast approaching, EA Sports have begun confirming some of the game's major details. Today, we learned who comprises the top 50 players on FIFA 17.

Here are the top 10 players on FIFA 17

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
