Ronaldo has previously admitted he had a difficult relationship with his father, who battled alcoholism saying: "My father was funny when he was drunk.

"But I didn't get to know him for real, from the heart and I don't know why he drank, maybe he was frustrated with his life.

"I wanted a different father, one who would be more present to see my achievements."
