CRISTIANO RONALDO has shown over the years his competitive edge – and it even extends to playing table tennis.
The Portugal skipper, who’s sporting prowess has seen him being compared to NBA great Michael Jordan, once spent a fortnight doing table tennis training after losing a game to Rio Ferdinand.
The 35-year-old, who’s won five Ballon d’Ors and played in four World Cup tournaments, regularly proves that unwavering commitment to training is the best way to succeed at football.

And his old Manchester United teammate Patrice Evra revealed Ronaldo adopted a similar attitude when taking on Ferdinand at table tennis.
Evra told ITV Sport: “They were playing table tennis and Rio beat him and we were all screaming.
“Ronaldo was so upset. Then he sent his cousin to buy a table tennis set.
“He trained for two weeks and came back and beat Rio in front of everyone. That’s Cristiano Ronaldo. He’s a machine”.
Ronaldo has certainly proved he has no intention of losing his edge when it comes to his impressive fitness levels.
The Juventus frontman often shared Instagram pictures and videos of his gruelling keep fit routines during the Covid-19 lockdown.
Although it’s not quite clear if all his gym work has paid off with Ronaldo looking off the pace since the return of action in Italy.
