Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo turns the beautiful game into child's play. As Brazil's legendary FIFA World Cup-winning midfielder Didi once said: “If we don't treat the ball with love, she won't do what we want her to do.” Perhaps more than any other player of the modern era, Real Madrid's flying winger seems to maintain that wide-eyed innocence on the field that makes every dazzling dribble and every penetrating pass feel like the very first. And such is his artistry that, almost magnetically, the ball returns to his feet time and time again, ready for the next touch of genius. From his early days with local club Andorinha, where his father was kit man, it was clear that the young Cristiano was destined for greatness. After a short stint with Nacional, he left Madeira to follow his dream and, as it has turned out, to become one of the greatest players in the world. (AP Photo)
