Dear Ronaldo, a Barca Fan here. Over the years, your Rivalry with Messi has been a golden memory that will be remember for ages. You have been a part of my Childhood. From an ordinary boy to one of the Greatest Footballers all time, you are an Inspiration for Million of people ❤ . I remember those nights when I used to watch matches of Real Madrid just to see your Football. During nights before El Clasico, I used to be super excited & curious at the same time. Excited because Two GOATS will play in the same match & curious to know how good will you play in those matches. Honestly, whenever ball was in your feet, my heartbeat used to increase as we know how capable you are to score from any where at any time. Nowadays, El Clasico is incomplete without you . May be in the past I made fun of you because to irritate my Madrid fans but truly there was & there is always a sign of respect for you . As you are growing older, I watch your old videos on YouTube & I wish you never retire as because there will be no other player like you. We are the luckiest Football fans to witness the Football of Two GOATS at the same time 😎 . Have a great Birthday ahead 😁🍻 Meet you soon in Champions League 😉 #HappyBirthdayRonaldo 😎 Cristiano Ronaldo

I fear Cristiano's retirement. His retirement would leave a large empty space in my life. First, I have loved no sportsman the way I have loved him. I am not a believer but of all beliefs I consider his the closest to mine and most suitable for me. Second, when football has a Ronaldo, it is easy and gratifying to be a player. Even if you are aware that you have never accomplished anything, you don't feel so bad, because Ronaldo accomplishes enough for everyone. Third, Ronaldo stands firm, his authority is enormous and as long as he is active, bad taste in football, all vulgarity in it's lachrymose varieties, all brazenfaced and resentful variety will remain far in the background.His generosity is enough to maintain what we can phrase as "second to none". If not for him, football would be a flock without a Shepherd or an unfathomable jumble. Happy birthday CR7. Football greatest of all time!
