They all are holding knives behind their backs....

Ronaldo, 23, said: “This is a unique moment for me. I’d like to dedicate this to my father, my mother, my brothers and sisters. “To my mother and my sisters I’d like to say you can now light up the fireworks. I’d also like to thank my team-mates.”
Ronaldo became the first Premier League ace to win the award since its launch 18 years ago. He also won the European Footballer of the Year award after a remarkable season in which he scored 42 goals in 49 games. He led United to a Premier and Champions League double.
Liverpool’s Fernando Torres came third behind Barcelona ace Leo Messi. Ronaldo added: “The past year was something great but winning this award adds a very special something to that.”
He had earlier hailed United boss Alex Ferguson as the man behind his success. Ronaldo said: “Sir Alex has had an important role to play in my life.
“Last season was a great one for me, my club and the boss was important for me because I learned a lot from him.
“His immense experience is of paramount importance and it’s a privilege to be able to be a part of the history of such a big club as United.
“I think that I can become part of the history of this club but you can’t get anywhere without a great manager.”
but please
be a better person for now!
poor xavi and messi, they have to stand with 3 tall dark handsome guys... at least xavi is dark =p
Torres looks like someone from a boyband ![]()
deserved it
Messi a better player than Ronaldo. He won because he is in a champions league winner team with worldclass teammates. Barca whereas has got very good players but lack the team spirit last season.

Thats a debatable issue. I think they're both equally talented players but i do believe Messi has a beter character. Ronald please try and be a better person from now on. Don't go RM

ronaldo good at 2 things
1) when ref does not award a foul against him, he would just sit on the pitch, raise his hands in protest and dont bother winning the balls back.
2) turning his million dollars car into wreckage
