A journalist asks Cristiano Ronaldo: “Why does your mother still live with you?

Why don’t you build her a house?”

Cristiano Ronaldo replies:

“My mother raised me, and she dedicated her life to me. She would go to sleep hungry, just to let me eat. We had no money at all.

She worked seven days a week and nights as a maid to buy my first shoes so I could be a player. All my success is dedicated to her and because of her, and as long as she has a life, she will always be by my side; she has everything I can give.

She is my refuge and my greatest gift.”
