3.HEART SURGERY
Cristiano's football career was at the tip of decline before it began. At the age of 15, Cristiano was diagnosed with a heart condition that might hinder him from playing football. The football sensation had the operation to correct an irregularity in the heart. The surgery went super and Ronaldo was discharged by the afternoon.
4.NO TATTOOS
Ronaldo's body is not covered with tattoos despite the hairstyles, luxury cars. But why this football celebrity has chosen not to ink his body? Ronaldo's first blood donation was made when the son of his Portuguese teammate, Carlos Martins, was affected by leukemia in 2011. He doesn't have any tattoos so he can donate blood more frequently. Ronaldo is also a bone marrow donor.
