Ronaldo reveals how he manages pressure

In a series of videos released shortly after the launch, the Al-Nassr star shares how he navigates the immense pressure of being one of the sport’s all-time greats.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner candidly discusses the challenges that come with his status:

“It all depends on perspective. When you’re constantly in the spotlight, you carry a unique responsibility.
"As a player, a friend, and a father, I embrace that responsibility, even though it sometimes brings pressure.
"Sometimes, I manage it well; other times, not so much. It varies depending on the situation and emotions at the moment. I’m not perfect, but I accept the pressures I face.”
