2013 proved to be another goal-drenched
year for Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese
star helped himself to 34 of them in the
2012/13 Liga season, a haul beaten only
by Lionel Messi’s 45, and scored a hatful
more in Europe and for his national team.
Always on top form for Real Madrid and
Portugal, the flying forward, who won the
FIFA World Player award in 2008, is only
gaining in stature with Los Merengues,
and it came as no surprise when he
extended his contract with the club to
2018 and said he was considering staying
put for the rest of his career.
Nadine Angerer already knew how it felt
to play a pivotal individual role in a major
international triumph. Back in 2007 the
keeper with nerves of steel was
Germany’s undisputed hero in the Final of
the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ in China as
she produced a scintillating display against
Brazil and saved a Marta penalty. The
Germans won 2–0 to seal a second
straight Women’s World Cup success, not
least due to Angerer conceding no goals at
all in her country’s six matches at the
finals.
