Are you going to announce

anything else about the child?

What do you mean?

The big question we all have basically

is if the child was...

That's pointless. That's pointless.

It's pointless to ask because...

Was it done at a clinic?

Don't go there. It's pointless.

I've said everything I have to say.

I'd like you to give me some privacy.

You can color it here, here, here...

- OK?

- OK.

I always had this dream

of having a son

to be my successor.

I wanted to be a young father,

and I was.

I was 25.

Because I wanted to be able

to follow him

during his development

as a person, as a man.

That was always a dream of mine.

Obviously, Cristiano has been

a big influence on me.

I have learnt to be calmer,

more cautious.

I have learnt a lot

about being a father.

People speculate that it was

with this girl or the other,

or a surrogate mother.

I've never told anyone and never will.

I think I should keep that to myself.

And later, when Cristiano is grown up,

then I will talk to him

and tell him what I did, what I felt,

everything that went through my mind.

Some kids never get to know

their parents,

neither father nor mother.

Having a father is good enough.

I don't care what other people say.

It doesn't bother me.

I always thought, and still think,

that he will understand me.

I can't believe it!

I can't believe it!

He doesn't have anybody

apart from his father and me,

and so he does spend

a lot of time with me.

Now how is he going to score?

Pass! Pass it forward!

I'm not bothered

about who the mother is.

I just want to give my grandson love

and educate him as Ronaldo asked me to,

as I did for him.

He reminds me of Ronaldo

when he was a child

and I see little Cristiano

just like his dad.

Goal!

Daddy!

Great!

Look, it was Daddy!

Cristiano shoots and... Goal!

The winner of the Ballon d'Or!

- The best player of last season!

- Goal! Goal! Goal!

Goal! Goal! Goal!

Cristiano scores

his 11th goal of the season.

The goal record of Cristiano Ronaldo

is astonishing,

even surpassing the total

number of goals

scored by some teams

in the Spanish league.

Hat trick for Cristiano Ronaldo.

It's his 13th goal in the league

in only seven matches.

You have to show yourself

that you really are good.

That's always my priority,

to prove to myself

that I still have the ability,

that I can do better things,

wanting to win more than other people,

demonstrating

that I'm better than others.

Your son says that you're going

to score two goals.

One for me and one for him.

- Yes, yes. A dream.

- Yes. He said that to me.

We'll win five-nil.

God willing.

Yes. Goodbye.

Speak soon. Kisses. Speak soon.

Bye. Bye. Bye.

Bye. Bye. Bye.

The Ballon d'Or is obvious.

I don't need to ask your opinion.

But you'll be there on January 12th.

Are you expecting an emotional reaction

from Cristiano Ronaldo if he wins?

I can only tell you I don't know

what is going to happen.

The only thing I can tell you

is that there has never been

a year like this one.

The difference between first and second

is so big that there is no doubt.

And if Cristiano doesn't win,

it would be best that

they stopped doing this event,

that it didn't appear any longer

in the history of this trophy.

Because the difference, truly,

is so great,

because it's not even worth

anyone asking,

"Will it be A, B or C?"

The difference is so great

that in the history of this trophy,

there has never been so great

a difference as this year, 2014.

The difference was an abyss,

and so there can only be one winner.

Well, that's OK. I'll organize it.

You're going crazy!

No, no. I was talking to someone here.

With the father of a footballer

who's going to be phenomenal.

OK.

It's an extra motivation

that he prods me all the time

and always roots for me,

believing that I can always do better,

believing that I can always

be even better.

His desire to show the world

that I'm the best ever

is a reason for happiness.

He became an older brother.

He became a father.

Jorge is another member of my family.

I'm the brother

of the best footballer in the world

and so I don't need anyone

to notice me. I don't need that.

My father taught me

it's better to keep silent.

My father used to say,

"A silent person wins more."

If I applied myself and trained,

I'm sure I'd also be a footballer.

I'm absolutely sure of it.

I had some talent.

Ronaldo could have gone down

the wrong path.

But he took the right path, and I was

happy that he chose that path,

working to become a footballer.

I've had issues with addiction.

I was already drinking

at the age of 20.

I worked for a long time with my father.

I worked in construction.

30 years ago,

everyone working in construction

would drink alcohol. Everyone.

I asked for help.

Then I had a relapse again.

Then, on my own,

I told myself it was enough

if I wanted to have a decent life

and if I didn't want to die young.

I stopped, and until today,

my life's healthy. Thank God.

From the day I pulled myself together,

Ronaldo has always helped me.

We have to get away from people

who are always in trouble.

Addictions, drugs and alcohol

won't get us anywhere.

He knows that he made mistakes.

He made some mistakes in life,

and he's the first to admit that

and these are moments

he managed to overcome.

And so for me today, he's someone

that I trust with my projects.

He owns my museum.

He's my right arm in many things.

He's someone I will trust

for the rest of my days

and he's a businessman.

Like they say, if we won't help

our family, who will we help?

He might have gone through a bad period,

but God gave him a new start

which was having a perfect family.

Thank you, brother, for all you've done.

Thank you, brother, for all you've done.

I can't. I can't. I can't now.

OK. OK.

Look! Do you know something?

Do you have any idea

what day it is today?

Forget that! Call me after the game!

Call me after the game!

Hello.

Will you give your godfather a kiss?

Who will win?

- Who will win?

- Madrid!

- Madrid!

- Real Madrid.

How many goals will Daddy score?

Two? No, Four! Two is not enough.

Four, four, four.

At least four.

I'm afraid of the other guy.

He's the only one

who can win the Ballon d'Or. Huh?

- The other guy could destroy everything.

- No. No, he won't.

I think rivalry

is always created by the press.

The relationship with Messi,

in the last year, was much better.

We've spoken more about ourselves.

He asked me about my injury,

how my old injury was

from the World Cup,

asking about the family...

I looked at him not as a rival

but as a person

who makes me a better player

and I make him a better player.

We are always busting our balls

to see who's better.

Penalty! Penalty! Penalty! Penalty!

Penalty!

Cristiano Ronaldo is at the ball.

This is a spot

he hardly ever misses from.

Cristiano shoots and goal!

An equalizer in El Clsico.
