    How many children does Cristiano Ronaldo have?
    Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina says the birth of their baby girl has “given us the strength to live this moment.”
    Cristiano and Georgina announced they were expecting twins in October in 2021.
    But the Manchester United ace revealed that their baby boy sadly passed away as celebrities paid tributes online.
    On May 7, the couple revealed they have named the baby girl Bella.
    To date, Ronaldo has five children, with three of children born to two surrogate mothers.
    His first son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, 11, was born on June 17, 2010 in the United States.
    Cristiano Jr’s family nickname is Cristianinho, which means “little Cristiano”.

    RONALDO LATEST
    Following in his father’s footsteps, Ronaldo Jr has started playing football at youth level and is already impressing with his goal return.
    On April, 14, 2022, he was captured executing his dad’s trademark “Siuuu” celebration while playing for Manchester United’s Under-12s.
    The young ace has also reportedly played alongside Wayne Rooney’s eldest son Kai at times as well.
    In June 2017, it was revealed that Ronaldo had fathered twins via a surrogate mother in the United States.
    The Portugal captain remained with the national team during the Confederations Cup campaign at the same time, only announcing the birth of the pair after Portugal’s penalty shootout loss to Chile.
    They are named Eva and Matteo.
    A month later, Ronaldo confirmed in an interview that he and Georgina Rodriguez were expecting their first baby together.
    When asked by Spanish news outlet El Mundo whether the player was “happy” to have another child on the way, he replied: “Yes, very much.”
    Georgina gave birth to baby daughter Alana Martina on November 12, 2017.
    Ronaldo posted a picture on Instagram, writing: “Alana Martina is just born! Both Geo and Alana are doing great! We are all very happy!'”
    On April 18, 2022 Georgina gave birth to twins, but the couple announced that sadly one of the two babies died shortly after she gave birth.
    They said in a statement: “It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away.
    “It is the greatest pain that any parents can feel.
    “Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.
    “Baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you.”

    Who is Cristiano Jr’s mother?
    The identity of Cristiano Junior’s mother is unknown, but Ronaldo Senior has full custody of his son with reports suggesting that his mother was paid £10million.
    Ronaldo told chat show host Jonathan Ross: “People speculate I was with this girl or another, or there was a surrogate mother. I have never told anyone and never will.
    “When Cristiano [Junior] is going to grow up, I am always going to say the truth to him because he deserves it, because he is my son, but I am not going to say because people want me to say.”
    Who is Georgina Rodriguez?
    Georgina is the mother of Ronaldo’s fourth child Alana and his yet to be named baby daughter.
    She was born on January 27, 1994, in Jaca, Spain to a Spanish mum and Argentine dad.
    Georgina learned dance before changing careers to modelling after studying English in London.
    The 27-year-old was first spotted on a string of dates with then-Real Madrid superstar Ronaldo towards the end of 2016.
    Georgina has claimed that her first meeting with the football star was “love at first sight.”
    “Our first meeting was at Gucci, where I worked as a sales assistant,” she recalled in an interview with The Sun .
    “Days later, we saw each other again at another brand’s event.
    “It was then that we could talk in a relaxed atmosphere, outside my work environment. It was love at first sight for both.” More

    Why do footballers spit on the pitch, and why do they also spit out water after drinking?

    THE World Cup is rolling on at pace in Qatar.The game is being watched by billions across the globe each day as footballers play for the game’s biggest prize.
    Lionel Messi spits during a game for Argentina
    Cristiano Ronaldo spits out his water on the touchline
    But you may have picked up a couple of trends that footballers seem to do in every game…spitting on the pitch and also spitting out their drinks on the touchline.
    Though there is a very scientific reason for this.
    Why do footballers spit?
    Players need to spit while performing exercise as excess saliva develops.
    Additionally, players often spit their drinks out onto the pitch after taking a small swig from the bottle.
    ENGLAND VS FRANCE – HOW TO WATCH
    This is due to a tactic called carb rinsing, which can reportedly improve performance.
    According to a New York Times article on England players at the 2018 World Cup: “Carb rinsing refers to the practice of swishing with sports drinks for five to ten seconds during exertion, but then spitting it out instead of swallowing.”
    Harry Kane spits water out after drinking
    The European Journal of Sport Science published a report in 2017 which found that carb rinsing boosted performance in a range of activities.
    Most read in Football
    Running magazine added that during exercise: “Swishing with a carb-laden drink is refreshing and lets you avoid the feeling of bloating or cramping that may come with swallowing liquid.”
    Spitting is not an offense in football, so does not warrant any disciplinary card.
    However spitting at another player or official is a red card.

    Meet Britain’s richest man Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who wants to buy Man Utd, owns Nice and is nicknamed Bond villain Dr No

    BRITAIN’S richest man Sir Jim Ratcliffe – worth a staggering £15billion- is plotting to buy Manchester United.The billionaire businessman wants in after the Glazer family put the club up for sale – as long as it’s for the right price.

    United announced on Monday that the Glazers were “looking to explore strategic alternatives” for the club.
    Ratcliffe, 70, is a lifelong Red Devils fan and it was revealed in the summer he was interested in taking over the club.
    A spokesperson said: “If the club is for sale, Jim is definitely a potential buyer.
    “If something like this was possible, we would be interested in talking with a view to long-term ownership.
    “This is not about the money that has been spent or not spent. Jim is looking at what can be done now and, knowing how important the club is to the city, it feels like the time is right for a reset.”
    Back in April, Ratcliffe put in an offer for Chelsea after speaking with former Blues chairman Bruce Buck, when sanctions placed on Roman Abramovich triggered a fire sale.
    Ratcliffe is a petrochemicals tycoon who at his peak was worth around £21BILLION.
    He runs multi-billion-pound chemicals giant Ineos, which owns French club Nice, Swiss side Lausanne, plus a third of Formula One team Mercedes.

    Speaking in October about taking over United, he said: “If it had been for sale in the summer, yes, we would probably have had a go, following on from the Chelsea thing.
    “But we can’t sit around hoping that one day United will become available.”
    Now United IS available, and billionaire businessman Ratcliffe is ready to negotiate a potential takeover.GROWING UP
    Ratcliffe was born in Failsworth,  LancashireCredit: AFP or licensors
    Ratcliffe was born in Failsworth, Lancashire, a commuter town just outside of Manchester.
    His father was a joiner and his mother worked in accounts, with the family living in a council house until the age of ten, before eventually moving to Hull, Yorkshire.
    His father later ran a factory making lab furniture.
    Ratcliffe previously admitted that despite having a Chelsea season ticket for many years, he is actually a Manchester United fan.
    He said: “I am a season ticket holder at Chelsea, have been for years, although I’m a Manchester United fan really.
    “Or was!”
    After attending Beverley Grammar School, Ratcliffe graduated from the University of Birmingham with a degree in chemical engineering.
    He also attended the London Business School, studying management accounting and graduating in 1980.
    CAREER
    Back in 2019, Ratcliffe forked out £91m to buy NiceCredit: Jamie McPhilimey – The Sun
    Ratcliffe’s first job was with oil firm Esso, before moving to American private equity group Advent international in 1989.
    He only became an entrepreneur at 40, as co-founder of INSPEC and then in 1998 forming Ineos in Hampshire, buying out his partners.
    The company used high-yield debt to finance deals, buying unwanted operations from bigger firms such as ISI and BP.
    In 2006, Ineos bought BP’s refining and petrochemical arm Innovene, giving the company refineries in five European countries and Canada.
    Ineos quit the United Kingdom in 2010, moving their head office from Hampshire to Rolle, Switzerland.
    The move is said to have saved Ratcliffe and his firm around £100million annually because of lesser tax.
    We’d look at businesses that were unfashionable or unsexy… We’d run them a bit better, reduce the costs, make them busy, and over the cycle they are very profitableSir Jim Ratcliffe on how his company made their billions
    He did return in 2015, however, putting the chemicals and energy branch of Ineos in Knightsbridge, London, saying he was “very cheerful” about being back in the UK and untroubled by Brexit.
    In fact, Ratcliffe had voted for Brexit.
    However, he quit the UK in 2018, moving to tax haven Monaco.
    The same year, the Sunday Times named Ratcliffe as Britain’s Richest Man, with a personal wealth of £21.05bn.
    Ineos, which employs around 19,000 people across the globe, makes fuels and lubricants, food packaging and construction materials that are a huge part of everyday life.
    It also supplies natural gas to homes and produces plastics, acids and polystyrene.
    In 2018, Ineos had a turnover of £45bn and is valued at £35bn.
    He previously revealed to The Times how he made his money, saying: “We’d look at businesses that were unfashionable or unsexy, facilities owned by large corporations where you’d know they would be sloppy with the fixed costs.
    “We’d run them a bit better, reduce the costs, make them busy, and over the cycle they are very profitable.”
    Ratcliffe has been called secretive and reclusive and according to the Financial Times has been given some nefarious nicknames by rivals and staff.
    They reported he has been called JR after the scheming oil tycoon from 1980s hit show Dallas, as well as Dr No – after the Bond villain/mad scientist.

    PERSONAL LIFE
    Ratcliffe, who is a vocal supporter of fracking, was married to Amanda Townson in 1985, before divorcing in 1995 – the couple had two sons.
    He also has a daughter from his second wife, Alicia, whom he married in the late 1990s.
    Ratcliffe had properties in Chelsea and Hampshire before quitting the country for the French Riviera.
    His move to the tax haven, where he already had a property, saved him around £4BILLION in tax.
    Ratcliffe was also made a Knight Bachelor in the 2018 Birthday Honours list for services to business and investment.
    He has owned two large super-yachts, the Hampshire, which he sold in 2011 to take order of the Hampshire II, which he still owns.
    The Hampshire II cost £130million is 257ft 6in and can house 14 guests and 23 crew.
    It features six large cabins, has a swimming pool on one of the decks, a helipad, Jacuzzi, sauna, cinema and beach club.
    The helipad can even be transformed into a special sports area fit for tennis, badminton, basketball, baseball or football.
    His other toys include FOUR private jets and a fleet of cars – although it’s not known which cars he has.
    However, he is a known lover of Land Rover Defenders and has financed his own line of cars to rival his favourite 4×4.
    The Ineos Projekt Grenadier starts at £55,000.

    SPORTS
    Sir Jim has always been a huge fan of sport and physical activity.
    As well as growing up a Manchester United fan, he has made expeditions to the North and South Poles and also spent three months on a motorbike trek across South Africa.
    Ratcliffe is also said to have completed the London Marathon in 2007.
    Before his interest in buying Man Utd, Ratcliffe and Ineos had already bought another football team: Swiss side FC Lausanne-Sport.
    He completed the purchase of the team in November 2017, with the club sitting fifth in the Swiss Super League.
    However, The Blue and Whites were RELEGATED in his first season at the helm, dropping down to the Challenge League.
    The club are currently fourth in the table.
    Ineos then paid £91million to take over French Ligue 1 side Nice in 2019.
    Elsewhere, Ratcliffe completed a move for cycling outfit Team Sky – and turned them into Team Ineos.
    He said: “Cycling is a great endurance and tactical sport that is gaining ever more popularity around the world.
    “Equally, cycling continues to mushroom for the general public as it is seen to be good for fitness and health, together with easing congestion and pollution in city environments.
    “Ineos is delighted to take on the responsibility of running such a professional team.”
    In 2018, Ratcliffe teamed with Olympic hero Sir Ben Ainslie to form Ineos Team UK, and they competed for the America’s Cup from 2021.
    It is believed he spent more than £110million on the project.
    Clearly, with money to burn, Man Utd fans will be getting excited at the prospect of Ratcliffe backing their club.
