Ronaldo wants seven Ballon d’Or awards
Madrid, Nov 17 (IANS) Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo has said he wants to win seven Ballon d’Or awards before retiring.
The 32-years-old already has four Ballon d’Or awards to his name in the senior career-span of 15 years.
However, the Real Madrid forward, who recently became father to his fourth child said he wants three more.
“I want seven children and the same number of Ballon d’Or (awards),” the Portuguese was quoted as saying by goal.com on Thursday.
“That means that I do not intend to stop there. As long as I play, I will win all I can win. My dream is the fifth Ballon d’Or, and next year there will be another one to go,” Ronaldo added.
Ronaldo also asserted that Real Madrid are not afraid to take on French football giants Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League and are aiming to finish on top of the table.
“I’m not afraid of PSG, we’re the defending champions two years in a row, we have to respect that, we would prefer to finish first in the group, but the important thing is first of all qualification,” Ronaldo said.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
