Patrice Evra, a former defender for Manchester United, has remembered an incident that he believes perfectly embodies football legend Cristiano Ronaldo’s competitive mentality.

Evra claims that Ronaldo once lost a table tennis match against Rio Ferdinand, a former teammate, while other players rejoiced over Ferdinand’s triumph.

According to Evra, Ronaldo dispatched his cousin to get a table tennis table since he was so upset about the loss. Before challenging Ferdinand to another match, he allegedly trained for two weeks.

Evra claimed that Ronaldo defeated Ferdinand in front of everyone when they replayed.

The former full-back described Ronaldo as someone who despises losing and is prepared to put in a lot of effort to turn failure into success, using the narrative to highlight his unwavering desire to get better.

Read what he said below;

“Cristiano’s a machine. He was playing table tennis and Rio Ferdinand beat him & we were all screaming. Ronaldo was so upset. Then he sent his cousin to buy a table tennis. He trained for two weeks and came back & beat Rio in front of everyone. That’s Cristiano.”
