Throwback to John Cena claiming Cristiano Ronaldo as his favorite Footballer

The WWE Superstar said Ronaldo was his favorite Football star and added that the term popularity had its meaning thanks to Ronaldo. The statement of John has resurfaced on the internet after the star Footballer created his YouTube channel to break many existing records in streaming.

"If I had to name some famous footballers, I would start and end with Cristiano Ronaldo. That’s it," said Cena in the interview.
