It’s Cristiano Ronaldo’s 30th birthday. For some players that marks the start of the slide to the end of their careers – but somehow he still seems to be getting better.
To celebrate, here’s a look back at some of the most typically Cristiano photos we could find…
1988
One day, my boy, you’re gonna be a star…
“Little boy, big dreams”
2002
Just to prove he did play for Sporting Lisbon once upon a time…
2003
Signing for Manchester United – whatever happened to Kleberson?
He didn’t always look cool…
Two Premier League greats.
2006
That wink.

2007
The joy.
The pain.
2008
You can see why Madrid seemed like an attractive option.
2009
Not many people give a look like that to Sir Alex and get away with it.
Some say his football is divine.
His precious…
And off to Madrid he goes.
2010
Now we’re not saying this is a dive, but…
Meeting a hero.
Cris v Pep.
2013
In the spotlight.
A familiar and scary sight for goalkeepers.
Cristiano v Zlatan – and Ronaldo drags his team single-handedly to the World Cup.
In his underwear – we had to include one…
2014
Crying as he collects the Ballon d’Or.
Tekkers.
He’s behind you.
Bare-chested destoyer.
World Cup disappointment – again…
He scored four against Elche, then did this.
We’re not sure, but we think that’s mutual respect.
2015
That roar.
The next generation…
