Cristiano Ronaldo is a footballing God and we should feel grateful to live in his era

AS any professor of English will tell you when someone else has said something better than you ever could then simply quote them instead of trying to come up with anything cleverer. And so it’s only right to quote the jaw-dropping statistics when writing about Cristiano Ronaldo because mere words cannot do any justice to this football phenomenon whose hat-trick for Real Madrid on Tuesday night against city rivals Atletico means he has all-but secured a place in his fourth Champions League Final.As Zinédine Zidane, the Real Madrid manager, put it: "There's nothing you can say about him. He speaks for himself."

Ronaldo's hat-trick meant he became the first player to reach 50 goals in the Champions League knockout stages. He has 52 in total.

The Portuguese is the only man to score 100 goals in European competition.

He has now scored 13 semi-final goals in the Champions League (10 for Real Madrid, three for Manchester United) - the most by any player, including when the tournament was called the European Cup.

The 32-year-old has scored two consecutive Champions League hat-tricks, and eight goals in his past three games in the tournament.

That’s now 399 goals for Real Madrid alone. He joined them in 2009.

Ronaldo is the only player in world football to have scored in the 2006, 2010 and 2014 World Cup and the 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 European Championships.

He is the top scorer in the entire history of Europe's top six leagues with 367 goals and counting.

For clubs (Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United and Real Madrid) and country his record now stands at 852 games and 593 goals.

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro is not an easy man to warm to. He is selfish, can act childish, is perhaps the vainest person to ever strut the earth and you just know he would not be the greatest company down the pub.

However, he is an incredible footballer, easily in the top five of all time, with his latest heroics coming at a time when some of the Madrid supporters, and the Spanish media as well, started to think he was slowing down. Ronaldo on an average day is the equivalent 95 per cent of others players when name man of the match.Ronaldo is addicted to scoring goals and winning games. He is rarely injured, treats the smallest matches as if they were European Cup Finals and for such a prima donna he goes in where it hurts to score his goals.

"For me all games are important, it depends how you want to interpret them," Ronaldo told UEFA.com. “I always look at them in a serious manner because I want to win and goals allow us to relax and have an advantage.

"It's an advantage and I won't lie – a good, very good one. But we can't take anything for granted. We have to go into the return leg at the Calderón fully focused. We know football is a box of surprises and for that we need to be wary. We know it will be a difficult game but we've got a good advantage. We need to be wary and go there and play a good game, too."

After captaining Portugal to the European Championships last summer, weeks after winning a third Champions League, he is a few matches away from bring a four-time winner in Europe and also taking the La Liga title from Barcelona. It has been some 12 months even by is standards.

Phil Neville, the former Manchester United player, compared the Portuguese gave an insight into what makes Ronaldo tick.

He said: “Cristiano has natural ability coupled with hard work. He is a tremendous example of where hard work can take you. When we were at Manchester United he said he wanted to go on to be the best player in the world. He had the self-belief to get to the very top.“United's Carrington training ground is maybe a mile, two miles around. Every single day he used to take a ball after training and run and do his tricks for a mile, two miles at a time. His drive and his ability to practise every single day is just phenomenal.”

When someone is this good they can be as vain as they want.

What blood group are you?

 According to a new study, the answer to this question may affect your heart health.

Researchers have found that people with non-O blood types may have greater heart attack risk.

Researchers have found that people with A, B, and AB blood types may be at greater risk of cardiovascular events - particularly heart attack than individuals with O blood types.

Lead study author Tessa Kole, of the University Medical Centre Groningen in the Netherlands, and colleagues say that their findings suggest that healthcare professionals should consider a person's blood group when assessing their cardiovascular risk.

The researchers recently presented their results at Heart Failure 2017, the annual meeting of the European Society of Cardiology, held in Paris, France.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat trick to lead host Real Madrid to a commanding 3-0 win over Atlético Madrid. The teams meet again next week.

De vilsnas parad avvisades av kraftfull motdemonstration

LEDARE 

Stora torget i Falun är en plats för mycket fint i en falubos liv: mösspåtagningar under studentveckor, hyllningar av skidhjältar, stadsfestivaler, konserter och matmarknader. Få kan heller glömma att torget i över 25 år var hem åt Gandhis legendklassade gatukök som samlade hungriga nattsjälar när allt annat stängt.

Att Nordiska motståndsrörelsens (NMR) nazistvansinne gavs plats här under 1 maj provocerar enormt. Den motkraft som fanns på plats i Falun visade det klart och tydligt, men det tåls att upprepas: här är ni aldrig välkomna och har absolut ingenting att hämta. De vilsnas parad gick genom stan, men avvisades beslutsamt. De timmar som NMR lyckades få demonstrationstillstånd för har snart (om inte redan) blåst torget förbi.

Om det var någon som på förhand tvivlade på arbetarrörelsens styrka i Dalarna så gavs idag svar på tal. Det 1200 personer långa S-tåget ringlade sig runt Stora torget och längs hela Holmgatan. Unga och gamla gick i kraftfull förening.

Med det sagt ska det obehag som våldsrörelsen för med sig inte förringas. Ingen står oberörd när våldsdömda nazister tågar genom ens hemtrakt. NMR utgör ett stort säkerhetshot för enskilda individer såväl som för allmänheten i stort. I skrivande stund har inga allvarliga sammandrabbningar inträffat – precis som i Borlänge ifjol reste sig Dalarna och avvisade på ett fredligt sätt allt det som NMR står för.

Vänsterpartiet lockade rekordmånga när partiledare Jonas Sjöstedt var i Göteborg på arbetarrörelsens högtidsdag. – Första maj är en viktig dag för Vänsterpartiet. Vi samlar tiotusentals människor för mer jämlikhet och rättvisa över hela Sverige, säger Jonas Sjöstedt vars parti lockade tusentals fler än Socialdemokraternas tåg i Göteborg./Göteborgsposten
