3. Christiano Ronaldo

The next person I am going to list down is someone who we have seen in many advertisements as well as in football matches. He is so famous that he has his own website and boy his career page (yes he has a special page for it) is lit! Yes, I am talking about Christiano Ronaldo. From his underwear advertisement #Ronaldofaster going viral to his versatile moves on the field, he has it all. He has been considered, and I quote, "the best player in the world and widely regarded as one of the greatest of all times" by Wikipedia. At 18, when most of us were pimple-faced and clueless, Ronaldo was signed at Manchester United. He returned the favour with three league titles and a European cup in 2008. Being good on all sides of the field, strong on both the legs and being quick on the field he is said to have scored the most official goals in Europe's top 5 Leagues. He has under his coat few FIFA World cups, UEFA Super Cups, Ballons d'Or and what not? He was also acclaimed to be the most popular ESPN athlete. Women melting at his smirk and men yielding by his skills (sometimes genders are interchangeable), Ronaldo is one of the best players in football.
