There are only a handful of players in the best-ever conversation—Pelé, Franz Beckenbauer, Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi. For some, the question as to who the greatest is may never be answered. For Ronaldo’s legion of fans, there can be no doubt: CR7 is the best to ever play the game. Five Champions League trophies, 128 international goals, 66 career hat tricks, five Ballon D’or wins, Real Madrid’s all-time top scorer. Off the pitch, the Portuguese forward has transcended the sport with his array of businesses, charitable work and pop-culture influence. Of course, the story of the man behind all those numbers is what’s really fascinating, and this magazine tells that story.
