7 reasons why it is time to stop hating Cristiano Ronaldo

#1 A good human being

Real Madrid v Manchester United - UEFA Champions League Round of 16 — Cristiano donating to Red Cross

Above all, the biggest reason to not hate the man is that he is a good human being. A long list of humanitarian activities has been done by the Portugal star.

Ronaldo sold his 2013 Ballon d’Or for £600,000 for Make-A-Wish Foundation.

He also donates Red Cross and has no tattoos on his body for the sole reason of donating blood regularly. His support for the victims in Syria is also no secret as the list goes on and on.

We often judge players and build feelings towards them on how they appear on the field and in front of the cameras, when the story behind the scenes is so much different.

And behind all the limelight, Cristiano Ronaldo is a great, great man.
