Why Famous Soccer Player Cristiano Ronaldo Lives With His Mom

Cristiano said:

“My mother reared me up by sacrificing her life for me. She went to bed hungry to feed me. We had no money. She worked 7 days a week and worked nights as a cleaner to buy me a pair of football boots so I could play.

My whole success is dedicated to her.

And as long as she lives, she will always have everything I can give her. She is my sanctuary and my greatest gift."
