CRISTIANO RONALDO is expected to fill the Santiago Bernabeu tomorrow when he is presented to 80,000 delirious Real Madrid fans.
The traditional player unveiling has, in the past, seen 30,000 pack the Nou Camp two years ago for Thierry Henry's Barcelona presentation.
And last week Kaka drew a crowd of 50,000. But Real officials are confident Ronaldo will be the first big signing to actually fill the stadium before he even kicks a ball.
Father
The former Manchester United winger has vowed to head back to England and personally say goodbye to Sir Alex Ferguson after his Galatico presentation.
He said: "In football terms, he has been like a father to me. I have to thank him for all he has taught me - how to think things through and take decisions in my life.
"He has been one of the most important factors and influences in my career. He will always have a special place in my heart."

i for one wont miss the diving, cry baby 'that was a foul ref cos i fell over' , mardy arse, its all about me, self important git, who, yes, has great quality, but ruins it all with his 'better than thou' attitude. he could never stand up on the big stage - even against city was shite EVERY time. he is a egotistical self indulgent git who got found out in the euro cup final. MIA. messi and co owned utd that night, and now golden nuts has left, you have a team of old crocks, young unproven bucks, and mediocre wannabes's - anderson, fletcher, hargreaves, etc. they aint that good and ronaldo will be sorely missed. reds for a mid tavle crisis, alex to resign for under achieving and shrek throwing more teddies out the ground........glory days at OT are over as the new kids in town take the limelight, and deliver a long over due blow to the so called, top 4, who lets face, have ALL bought thier success. now its time of a bit of retribution!! bring on the arabian knights.

As a man u. fan here in Nigeria I think C. Ronaldo has paid his due in our dearly beloved club history. I bid him farewell and hope sir will bring in a perfect replacement for him. He is not the first big player to leave united so we still have to cope as before. UNITED 4 LIFE!!!

Ronaldo will soon be forgotten....
It isn`t the first time United has cashed in on their prize asset, remember Beckham was England captain and most famous player in the world. Replacements will be found and everyone will move on.
I also hear that Ronaldo played his part in de-stabilizing the Old Trafford dressing room.
Ronaldo as an athelete is one of the worlds best, but he is also right git. Aparently constantly trying to erode the confidence of his team mates or as he see`s them competitors...
Good luck madrid, hope your manager is as good as fergie....

He deserves that he is great, the best!What football player could win best player of the world award under the pressure of 40.000 english fans and media abusing him every time? could Rooney do that?
England was looking for a scape goat hey could not contemplate a football player like him.
They will always try to make Rooney bigger in very article or comment and attack Ronaldo reputation in a way of destroying him. No one cares about Rooney no one apart from united fans and english.
But reality bites! the freekick against portsmouth the Porto goal showed the talent he is.
I payed just to see him play,the tricks the pace the style amazing!I will be watching Madrid instead that is for sure...
