'Ronaldo put in the work' - Fortune credits work ethic and confidence for Ronaldo's success

The former Manchester United player says the Madrid ace was "obsessed with being the best" early in his career

Cristiano Ronaldo is not the most naturally talented player on the planet, but hard work and dedication have elevated him to his "deserved" status as one of the world's best, according to former Manchester United midfielder Quinton Fortune.

Ronaldo became the first player to score 100 Champions League goals with a hat-trick in the second leg of Real Madrid's quarter-final victory over Bayern Munich this week and on Sunday will hope to guide his side to Clasico glory against Barcelona.
