Rekorder er til for at blive slået af Ronaldo. Her er historien om en lille splejset dreng fra Madeira, der forvandlede sig til en næsten overmenneskelig fodboldspiller uden svagheder og med de vildeste scoringsstatistikker. Han har gennem hele sin karriere delt vandene: Nogle synes, han er verdens bedste, en gud, andre at han er en primadonna og alt, alt for meget. Men selv de, der synes, han er for meget, må alligevel overgive sig og respektere en spiller, der scorer 60 mål pr. sæson. Ronaldo er verdens bedste fodboldspiller og i 2014 vandt han for andet år i træk Ballon d’Or. Han er verdens dyreste fodboldspiller, og i 2009 blev han solgt for det højeste beløb nogensinde til Real Madrid. Han blev ligeledes i 2014 udødeliggjort i sin klub, da han vandt den tiende Europa Cup titel i Real Madrids historie. ANMELDERNE SKREV "De fleste går for enten at elske eller at hade topscoreren, men Christian Mohr Boisen formår at tage de analytiske briller på, som hæver ham op over de banale "pros and cons" – uden at hans sympati med Ronaldo dog forties (...) fyldt med gode anekdoter, interviews med holdkammerater, beskrivelser af Ronaldos særegne personlighed og ekstreme vindermentalitet (...) Bogen er måske henvendt til fodboldglade teenagedrenge, men selv en fuldvoksen fodboldfan vil læse den med interesse." - Kulturkapellet.dk "Det er en sober bog, der kommer hele vejen rundt om personen. Den er velskrevet og veldokumenteret" - Bibliotek.dk
