Sir Alex Ferguson had come to watch the Euro 2016 final. He was even seen hugging Cristiano Ronaldo after he won the trophy.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who is currently the favourite to win the FIFA Ballon d’Or, was praised by former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson on winning the UEFA Euro 2016 final. He even went on to call Ronaldo the special footballer of his generation.<\/p>\n
Sir Alex Ferguson said: “He (Ronaldo) has an incredible desire for football. Cristiano looks forward to each workout. He always wants to be better, to win. He especially loves these big games. During my time at Manchester United, Cristiano was the player who developed the most. He constantly worked on his shooting technique. His performance improvement is incredible. What is remarkable is that he is so athletic, so fast. Usually top players can only play for about five or six years at the highest level, then it’s over. Cristiano has been doing this for over 10 years. That makes him so exceptional. Every generation has its special footballer, Cristiano is currently the one.”<\/p>\n
