Cristiano Ronaldo has hinted that one day he sees himself presenting his son with the Ballon d’Or award.
The Real Madrid star won the accolade for a third time in Zurich on Monday night and disclosed that one day he hopes to see his son collecting the prize, while admitting he was quite apprehensive about being in front of the microphones.
“In the future I can see myself presenting the Ballon d’Or to my son,” he told Cadena SER’s ‘El Larguero’ programme.
“I was a little nervous before the ceremony but my son is slowly beginning to understand that there are certain aspects to his father.
“There are times you think about the speech but when it comes to making it you forget things. I don’t write anything down and prefer to do it naturally. I do get a little nervy when I’m in front of a microphone.”
Ronaldo also had words of praise for the work Lionel Messi has done at Barcelona.
“He is very important for Barcelona and for football. He does his job and I do mine. I’ve always had a good relationship with him,” he maintained.
