About this listen

In the fifth episode of Legends of the World Cup, we travel to Funchal, on the island of Madeira, to tell the story of Cristiano Ronaldo: the boy who cried because he was not put in the lineup, who had heart surgery at twelve, who crossed the ocean to arrive at Manchester United at seventeen, and who built over more than two decades the body, the mind and the will of the greatest athlete football has ever produced. An episode about work, obsession and what happens when someone decides there is no limit they cannot break.
