In an interview, a reporter asked the soccer superstar, "Why is your mom still living with you? Why don't you build her a house?"

This was his response:

"My mother reared me up by sacrificing her life for me. She went to bed hungry to feed me. We had no money. She worked 7 days a week and worked nights as a cleaner to buy me a pair of football boots so I could play.

My whole success is dedicated to her.

And as long as she lives, she will always have everything I can give her. She is my sanctuary and my greatest gift."

It's clear that Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro has been a major influence in her son's life and his success.

On her birthday, Ronaldo wrote: "Happy birthday to the best mother in the world, a warrior who always taught me not to give up, the best grandmother my children could ever dream of having. I love you so much, my mother! Kiss!"

Ronaldo's sister, Katia, filmed the moment that Dolores read his birthday message.
