    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Ronaldo was also a generous team-mate both on and off the pitch, according to Casilla. The former Real Madrid goalkeeper has revealed how Ronaldo would regularly present the team, and the club's staff, with expensive gifts which were gratefully received.

  • WHAT CASILLA SAID

    He told The After Show at Post United: "He's a phenomenon, a superhuman person, who helps even the last kid who comes up through the youth academy. Ask him for anything and he'll give it to you. When we went to the United States for preseason, he bought all the staff - physiotherapists, security guards, etc. - this year's iPhone, this year's Apple Watch. There are details like that that he doesn't mention, because it doesn't make sense to mention them. He's a person who likes to thank everyone around him."
