    Cristiano is the island of Madeira. That island had many African slaves working in fields of sugar. That’s African heritage have many of the inhabitants of the island. I think it is clear that Ronaldo has an African side. He has an incredible physique, this is an African heritage.

    He looks fully Southern European. Just because you’re a bit dark it doesn’t mean that you’re Mestizo, black, Indian….

    A gorgeous picture of him btw. Yum…
