Year End Review: Europe's 5 Most Hated Footballers In 2016 2

Cristiano Ronaldo:

Arguably one of the best players to have ever played the sport, Ronaldo, has won close to everything as a player and is enjoying a purple patch this year with Real Madrid. He has helped the Spanish side to innumerable victories of the highest order and also won the Ballon d’Or recently.

However, his success and his attitude on and off the field has got him as many haters as he has followers. Being such a good player attracts hate anyway but Ronaldo’s interest in his own appearance and stats make him a player that cannot be easily loved.  He is player who can make people want to watch the sport but his simulation and antics on the field make him one of the most hated players in the world.
