Ronaldo revealed he got drunk to Diletta Leotta
But one trophy stands head and shoulders above all the others: the European Championship.
Ronaldo was forced off after just 25 minutes of the 1-0 win over France in July 2016.
The greatest player Portugal has ever produced broke down in tears when he realised he would have to go off after a clash with Dimitri Payet.
But Eder’s extra-time goal meant those tears of pain were replaced with tears of joy.
And there were so many that Ronaldo needed a drink to get some fluids back in his system.
The only thing is that he drank so quickly the booze went straight to his head.
He told Diletta Leotta: “The title of European Champion with Portugal is the most important prize I have ever won.
“It was an incredible, unforgettable evening.
“I cried, I laughed, I suffered, I shouted, I got drunk.
“During that game, I cried so much that I was dehydrated.
“At the end of the game, during the celebrations, I drank a glass of champagne and immediately it went to my head.
“I never drink but that day was so special. The most important trophy ever.”
Ronaldo also addressed his future – and says he has no desire to go into management at the moment.
What’s more, he said it is only something he will consider if he gets “bored”.
He added: “Right now, I don’t care to become a coach.

“Maybe one day I will be bored and I will feel like it, never say never.
“If I became a coach, I would be a motivator. The coach must transmit his passions and his talents to the team.
“I like to have fun, dribble, shoot, score goals. I would pass this onto the team as a motivator.”
