#4 Nani
Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani have been the backbone of Portugal’s rise over the last decade or so and are the best of mates, to say the least. The two played together during their youth appearances for Sporting and eventually got to play at the national level when Nani made his debut for Portugal national team in 2006. The duo later went on to dazzle together for Manchester United and boast a healthy friendship.
Ronaldo even offered to share his apartment with Nani for the initial days after he sealed a move to Old Trafford in 2007 which the latter duly obliged. They spent 2 seasons together as Red Devils before Ronaldo switched to Real Madrid, but the two have been together at the international level till now.
Ronaldo’s affection for Nani was once again bright when he gave away the EURO 2016 Silver boot award after they edged past France in the final.
