Madrid's "Real" star Cristiano Ronaldo has millions of fans all over the world. However, some of them do not limit themselves to just watching matches or buying jerseys.
One of the most famous Portuguese fans is the Dane Shanta Ronaldo.
The 17-year-old fanatic revealed that he spends thousands of euros on his idol: he travels after the player to matches, tries to buy the same clothes, not to mention copying hairstyles or poses.
"I became an active fan of the player in 2009 when he joined the 'Real' team.
To talk to Ronaldo, I used to go to Spain and wait outside the team's training base every day from 9 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon. Eventually, luck smiled on me and I managed to talk to him. I can assure you, the Portuguese is an amazing person," said Shanta.
In 2014, Shanta even applied for a trial at the royal club, but nothing came of it.
"All my friends call me Cristiano Ronaldo. They know my passion, they think I'm crazy, but at the same time they respect my choice.
Although some people urge me to be myself, that's exactly who I am now," said Shanta, who even changed his last name because of his favorite footballer.
