Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest footballers in history.What the Manchester United and Portugal superstar has achieved throughout his career up until now is quite extraordinary.Ronaldo is the leading scorer in men's professional football with 815 goals and a whopping 117 of those have come on international duty.No male footballer in history has rippled the back of the net more times for their country, the closest being Iran legend Ali Daei, who bagged 109.As well as being a marvellous footballer, Ronaldo is perhaps the most recognisable face on the planet these days.The 37-year-old has reached a level of fame that almost beggars belief, which is further highlighted by the fact that he's comfortably the most followed person on Instagram with over 450 million followers.

You just love to see it.
Ronaldo fans around the world - of which there are millions - would probably all have reacted in the same manner if they received a high five from their hero.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has enjoyed a fairly productive time on international duty following the conclusion of the domestic season.
Ronaldo scored twice in Portugal's 4-0 home win over Switzerland and played the full 90 minutes against Czech Republic on Thursday.
