The Portuguese superstar admits that he is just like any other person when it comes to pre-game feelings

But rather than be crippled by the butterflies, the Juventus forward has channelled those feelings to ensure he always performs to his potential.
Recalling a now pivotal pre-season match he played for Sporting Lisbon against Manchester United in 2003, Ronaldo remembers that despite his steely facade, nerves were beginning to creep in with the world set to watch his every move.
