Cristiano Ronaldo’s McDonald’s adventure
Speaking to ITV, Cristiano Ronaldo added that he and his teammates would go to a McDonald’s outlet near the stadium, where they would be hoping to get free food after training.
Cristiano Ronaldo declared that he would love to find those who helped him in a time of need, adding that we would invite them over to his house for dinner if he were to find them.
A few weeks after Cristiano Ronaldo’s interview, a woman identified herself as one of the workers who was involved.
Speaking to Portuguese radio station Renascenca as transcribed by the Mirror, Paulo Leca said that Cristiano Ronaldo and his friends would come to the McDonalds outlet regularly.
The mother of two revealed that she’d lost contact with Edna, who was her co-worker at the time.
