“Everything that happens in life has a reason”
Cristiano Ronaldo approached this Mancunian episode with philosophy: “ I think everything that happens in life has a reason. I’m glad I went through these different things so I could see who is actually on my side, which is good for Cristiano. In a difficult moment, you can see who is there and who is on the other side. It’s true that I have no problem saying that I had difficult moments in my career, on a personal level first, and then on a professional level. Remorse ? I think there is no time in life for remorse. Life goes on. We are learning. It’s part of our evolution as human beings. »

“I am a better man”
For the quintuple Golden Ball, this episode made him grow as a player and as a man: ” For that, I’m glad I went through these difficulties because when you’re at the very top of the mountain, it’s hard to see what’s down there. And sometimes you can’t see it. Now I can say that every day I am more than prepared, not only as a player but also as a human. For that, for me, it was a huge learning experience because I had never been there. And thank God, I managed to see a lot of things and I’m a better man. »
