Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the most marketable football player in the world, according to a study from an international sports market research company and it comes as no surprise to those who follow the sport closely.
The Portuguese star is one of the most recognizable names, not only in football (or soccer, as it’s called in the US), but in sports in general. Whether you call him by his first or last name, fans know who Cristiano Ronaldo is.
Named after the American president Ronald Regan, the 29-year-old phenom had a remarkable year in 2014, breaking too many records to mention, ending as the highest scoring player in the Spanish league, La Liga, as well as becoming the top scoring player in the UEFA Champions League in a single season. All in all it was a dream season.
The only thing missing this year was the La Liga title, which his team, Real Madrid, lost to their across-town rivals, Ateltico Madrid.
However, Ronaldo helped Real to two European titles, the Copa del Rey and that elusive “La Decima”, the 10th UEFA Champions League title, which consolidated “Los Blancos” as one of the top football teams in the world.
