Real Madrid’s president Florentino Perez on Wednesday honoured forward Cristiano Ronaldo for reaching the 400-goal mark with the club, which the Portuguese forward attributed to teamwork.

Ronaldo received a commemorative shirt from Perez at the club’s training ground with the number 400 on its back, after scoring a hat-trick on Tuesday against Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, reports Efe.

“The team did a tremendous job, we were outstanding. It was a complete performance and we performed very well right from the first whistle to the last. I’m very happy to have struck a hat-trick and made it 400 goals for Real Madrid,” Cristiano told the club’s media.

“We’ve now got a good lead, but there’s still the return leg to come and the tie isn’t over yet. Atletico are a very fine, strong side and it’s not by chance that they’re in the semi-finals. We’ll have to be focused for next Wednesday’s game,” he added.

I wonder how Cristiano Ronaldo would be feeling now that his bust has been installed at the international airport in the Spanish city of Madeira. The airport has also been named after him.

The sculpture does not do justice to Ronaldo, a handsome man by all standards. In fact it looks nothing like the footballer; rather looks like his funny, abnormal version. Ronaldo being a sporting icon took it … well sportingly but the Internet went berserk with outrage at the lack of resemblance to the footballer.

A lesser mortal would have cracked up, hats off to the sculpture Emanuel Santos, who shrugged off criticism nonchalantly saying that “It is a matter of taste. You cannot please everyone”. Wow this guy is surely sorted.

The world is anyway becoming a difficult place to please. Ask the guy who wanted to please the two most important people in his life and ended up with hilarious consequences. He not only failed miserably in achieving what he had set out to do but also became the butt of jokes all over the world.

In a truly incredible man of the match acceptance speech recently, Ghanaian footballer Mohammed Anas, thanked his wife and girlfriend in the same breath and in the same sentence. “ I appreciate my fans… Also my wife and my girlfriend” He stumbled as he realized his mistake and corrected himself, “er I mean my wife. Sorry, Im sorry…yeah I mean my wife. I love you so much. I love you so much from my heart.” Too late, you sealed your place in history as the guy who had the best of both worlds but lost it in a rush of emotions when he inadvertently declared his lucky status to the whole world.

We are trying to please people around us all the time, aren’t we? We try to please our bosses for a promotion or increment, we try to please friends and family members because we want to look good or be in their good books, we try to please our partners so that they continue to love us. Ask yourself this one question and be honest. How many people do you know who are trying to please you? Unless you are a Narendra Modi or an in power politician or a high ranking official, chances are that you can count them on your fingers.

Time on this earth is short. So isn’t it time you started doing something/things that make you happy. The way things are going, very soon you will find it formidable to even please yourself. If you like your meat better than your vegetables or if your idea of a date is a rendezvous with your beloved in a public place, both are almost out of bounds. Forget about pleasing others, you will be lucky if you are able to please yourself in times to come.

What are some of the things that make you happy? I would love to know.

Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo was named here as the winner of the 2016 Ballon d’Or for the fourth time, second only to five-time recipient Lionel Messi.

The Portuguese international’s first golden ball came in 2008, before Manchester United sold him to the Blancos for $132 million, EFE news reported.

Ronaldo scored 51 goals in 54 games this year while leading Real Madrid to their record 11th Champions League trophy and Portugal to its first European Championship.

The 31-year-old striker was not on hand for the ceremony in Paris, as Real Madrid are in Japan this week for the semifinals of the Club World Cup.

“This has been the best year of my career from both a team and individual level,” Ronaldo said in an interview recorded earlier at the Santiago Bernabeu. “To win the title for Portugal was what was left to achieve on my resume and it was one of the most important moments.”

“But to win Champions League as well with Real Madrid was huge,” he said, surrounded by the 11 trophies the team has won in Europe’s elite club competition.

“This is a dream come true and it is the fourth time. I feel very proud. This win is for my teammates in both the club and the national team. It is incredible to earn this trophy again,” Ronaldo said.

Six weeks later, he captained his country to their first major trophy, scoring three goals to help his side to victory.

Atletico Madrid’s Griezmann announced himself as one of the world’s outstanding players this year thanks, in part, to his performances on home soil at 2016 Euro.

The forward was the top scorer in the tournament as he helped his country reach the final, only to be defeated by Ronaldo’s Portugal.

The Frenchman also ended the 2015-16 season as his club side’s top goalscorer, helping Atletico to third in La Liga, and to a tight final defeat to Ronald”s Real in the Champions League.

Portugal are the Euro 2016 champions. A solitary extra time goal by substitute Eder gave Portugal a historic win in the Euro 2016 final against the hosts France. It was heart break for France as they started as clear favourites going into the final in front of their home crowd. Though the Portuguese tram lost their captain Cristiano Ronaldo to injury at 24th minutes of the match but they defended well and fought hard to emerge victorious.    

In the first semifinal of the Euro 2016 Portugal beat Wales 2-0 to book their place in the final. It was billed as the big clash between Real Madrid’s left and right flanks – Critiano Ronaldo versus Gareth Bale. Ronaldo came up trumps in this one as he broke the deadlock with brilliant header in the 50th minute. Within minutes Nani slides in to direct  Ronaldo’s cross to make it 2-0.  

As the Euro 2016 kicks off in France, we chat with a few fans to find out where their allegiance lies. Unsurprisingly, France, Germany and England seem to be the most popular nations. We also ask the people which players they will miss the most this summer.

The 2016 Euros will be the 15th edition of the UEFA European Championship, the quadrennial international men’s football championship of Europe organised by UEFA.

The battle for the title will be closely contested with World Cup winners Germany and France, who have the home advantage, arguably being the favourites. Spain will look to bounce back from their shocker at the World Cup. Poland, Croatia, Austria are among the dark horses with Wales looking to continue their form from qualifying as they make their first appearance in a major tournament since 1958. Bottom line, it’s set to be a month of thrilling football.
