The Worst Moment In Football History | Ronaldo Injury |
Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that he thanked Laurent Blanc during his post-match touchline chat with the Paris Saint-Germain boss last month.
Reports in France had claimed that Ronaldo had told Blanc that he would “love” to play for PSG following Madrid’s 1-0 win over the French champions at the Santiago Bernabeu on November 3.
But Ronaldo insists he was only thanking the World Cup winner for praising him before the match.
“I have talked to many people. When people treat me well, I treat [them] well. A muddle that does not exist was put together,' said Ronaldo
“What happened with Blanc was that he had spoken very well about me before and I only thanked him for this declarations and I told him that I had liked them a lot.
“And with the Paris president, I have known him for many years. He seems very nice and he has always treated me well. That's what happened.”
Ronaldo also downplayed reports of a rift with Madrid president Florentino Perez over the incident.
“I don’t remember what was said to Florentino, but his comment was a joke,” said the Portugal international, who set a new Champions League record of the most goals scored in the group stage
after netting four times against Malmo on Tuesday. source /goal.com/
“If there was a problem he’d call me into his office and talk to me. Nothing happened.
Cristiano Ronaldo has won the last two Ballon d'Ors - and he should be in line to make it three in a row
When it comes to individual achievements, there is no-one who has performed as well as Ronaldo in 2015
Despite a 'poor' start to this season, Ronaldo has 16 goals in 20 games, an almost unrivalled scoring record
Of the four front-runners, three of them - Luis Suarez, Neymar and Messi - play for one team.
It should not be any surprise that Barcelona, therefore, won the Champions League, and indeed the treble, a remarkable team achievement.
But the Ballon d'Or is not about a team. It is an individual award, and, as an individual, no-one comes close to Ronaldo. The man is a machine, producing pure, efficient goalscoring.
This season, we are told, he is off the pace, a shadow of his former self. Yet his 16 goals in 20 games (all competitions) are better than Lionel Messi's (9 in 13) and on a par with Neymar (16 in 19).
Add in last term, and you can see that in 2015 neither Messi nor Neymar come close to the Portuguese star.
In La Liga alone, Ronaldo scored 48 times in 35 matches last season. That's five more goals than Messi managed, and more than double the number scored by either Neymar or Suarez.
His goals per game across all competitions for 2015 dwarf Messi and Neymar, and he is the only man close to a goal a game for the calendar year.
RONALDO, MESSI AND NEYMAR IN 2015 - THE VITAL STATISTICS
Ronaldo (Real Madrid and Portugal): 48 goals in 51 games (0.94 goals/game)
Messi (Barcelona and Argentina): 44 goals in 54 games (0.81 goals/game)
Neymar (Barcelona and Brazil): 42 goals in 54 games (0.78 goals/game)

Following the game, one of Ronaldo's worst wearing the white of Real Madrid, the Portuguese whispered something into PSG coach Laurent Blanc's ear on his way off the pitch. He then cheekily embraced club owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi in front of a gaggle of reporters in the mixed zone.
These actions are innocuous in isolation, but the optics are notable – Ronaldo knew they would provoke speculation and controversy, but went through with them anyway. It's his way of flouting his power and challenging Perez. But only one man can win that battle.
4. Sound business move
“
A self-made billionaire, Florentino Perez has struck some great business deals in his time, but few would match this one
Ronaldo will be 31 in February and is not as explosive as he once was – 13 years of elite football and a troublesome knee will take their toll on even the most obsessively fit athletes. However, he is far from washed up and still has more than enough in his locker – and his brand valuation – to command a transfer fee close to the €94 million Real Madrid forked out for his services in 2009. Particularly if PSG and Manchester United enter into a bidding war for his services.
A self-made billionaire, Perez has struck some great business deals in his time, but few would match this one – buy a player who leads your club to every major trophy on his way to becoming its all-time record goalscorer, milk his global brand for seven years and sell him on while his stock is just about high enough to allow you to recoup your initial outlay.

While the chance to come back to Old Trafford, where he finished his change from crude adolescent to the world-class goal machine, will actually speak to the 30-year-old, a move to PSG may have been more probable before his mom’s intercession. A transfer to Paris would give a chance to Ronaldo to make more history with another club – PSG outfit has never won the Champions League, however, are not a million miles far from doing as such – while the Ligue 1 outfit are purportedly arranged to pay the forward an immense £250,000-a-week after duty. In any case, Mother of Cristiano Ronaldo would lean toward her child to join Manchester United.
One potential concern Ronaldo may have about coming back to United is the certainty Louis van Gaal is in control. The Red Devils have neglected to deliver stimulating, attack-minded football under the strategically inflexible Dutch mentor and a developing number of supporters are addressing whether the 64-year-old is the right man for the job.
