| Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo |
LA LIGA: Cristiano Ronaldo was clearly overwhelmed after winning the Ballon d’Or title this week, but Real Madrid’s physio team were probably equally delighted. Indeed, the group of special trainers who look after the Real team, including Ronaldo, are now in line to scoop a brand new car of their choice – after a special promise from the Portuguese forward.
According to reports in Spain, Ronaldo promised Madrid’s physios that if he won the Ballon d’Or, they would each get a new car, as a present for helping keep him fit in the last 12 months. Many think Ronaldo edged Lionel Messi for the prize because of the Argentine’s recent injury trouble, which has seen him miss the last few weeks of action.
And whether that was the reason or not, Ronaldo clearly believes they had an influence, and is ready to open his cheque book to say thank you.
Good work, Cristiano!
