Cristiano Ronaldo congratulates previous team on Liga win
Former player for the Portuguese team Ronaldo, 39, posted a congrats message from the team’s official Instagram account to his own Instagram Story. The Portuguese player received his training at the Sporting Lisbon academy before starting his professional career.
Cristiano Ronaldo Academy is the new name of Ruben Amorim’s team’s training facility, “in honour of the man who became the greatest Portuguese player of all time”, according to Besoccer. Just eighteen, the former Real Madrid player stunned former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson in 2003 with his football prowess when Sporting Lisbon defeated his side 3-1.
A few days later, Ferguson brought Ronaldo to Old Trafford. Only twice this season has Sporting Lisbon, the division’s leading scorers with 92 goals in 32 games, suffered defeats.
