Cristiano Ronaldo is stepping up his property game. Last week, Ronaldo unveiled his $80 million range of CR7 branded hotels that will open in Funchal, Lisbon, Madrid and New York. This week, he’s granted us access to his mansion in Madrid with a self-guided tour through Unscriptd.com.
It seems like every heartwarming Christmas story features an adorable orphan, and Cristiano Ronaldo's heartwarming Christmas story is no different.
First there was this Tweet:
As the boos rang around Old Trafford Saturday afternoon following a 2-1 defeat to newly promoted Norwich City, Manchester United’s transformation from functional dullards to dismal incompetents was complete. Louis van Gaal’s pedestrian, monochromatic football has been painful on the eye all season long, but at least it had previously brought results.
Lionel Messi has another trophy, much to the chagrin of some of his countrymen. Barcelona beat Argentinian club River Plate in the Club World Cup final with the help of Lionel Messi's first-half goal (the game ended 3-1).
HT: River Plate 0, Barcelona 1. Messi scores in his third straight Club World Cup Final as Barca lead at the break. https://t.co/iXSxCJPsi0
What can you say about the little pea that hasn't already been said? Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez scored his 17th goal in his last 14 games — he has 19 total this season — to give Bayer Leverkusen a 1-0 win over FC Ingolstadt 04 Saturday.
And it was a beauty. Hernandez timed his run perfectly and finished cleanly, two talents that he has shown throughout his career.
If you're left-footed, you know that you've been gifted with both a blessing and a curse. Typically, you're an oddity on the team, alone in your preference for the left foot. Left-handers make up only 10% of the general population, and only half of southpaws are also left-footed. Our numbers may be small, but we are incomparably strong. We've got Messi.
#1: You’re the first name on the team sheet
There was only one option for Bundesliga player of the week after Mexican striker Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez scored a hat trick for Bayer Leverkusen against Borussia Monchengladbach.

To the surprise of appriximately nobody, Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez is the most popular player in the Bundesliga.
We know he's the most popular player in the Bundesliga because the Bundelsiga held a Twitter popularity contest, called "Bundesliga Idol," and, predictably, Hernandez won.
Bundesliga Idol followed the format of its namesake, TV show American Idol, with one contestant voted off every round.
Javier "Chicharito" Hernández finalmente ha salido y ha dicho por qué se fue del Manchester United. No es que no supiéramos ya por qué se fue.
Como era de esperar, Chicharito descubrió que Louis van Gaal era mucho menos fanático que el anterior entrenador Sir Alex Ferguson. Chicharito dijo en una entrevista con la televisión española (citas cedidas por Marca) que van Gaal intentó que se fuera nada más llegar el holandés al Manchester United.
