Setting Records
Ronaldo would go on to win five Ballon d’Or awards and four European Golden Shoes, which is the most by a European player. He also won 32 trophies in his career, including seven league titles, five UEFA Champions Leagues, one UEFA European Championship, and one UEFA Nations League.
He also holds the record for the most appearances, most goals, and assists in the Championship League, most goals in the European League, most international goals by a male player, and most international appearances by a European male.
But Ronaldo wasn’t only scoring on the field, he was getting a reputation as a player in his personal life as well, becoming romantically involved with many A-listers.
Beach Bum
While Cristiano Ronaldo was becoming known as one of the best soccer players of all time, he was just as busy off the field as he was on the field.
In 2002, when his soccer career was just getting started, the soccer player was spotted with Portuguese model Karina Ferro on the beach, tanning together and getting extra cozy.
Soon enough, rumors started circulating about the two being an item, but they were never confirmed. Whether Ronaldo and Ferro were together or not, a little while later he was connected to his next romance.
