Brazilian Ronaldo, who has just married for the third time, once revealed he had \u2018saved enough sperm for a football team\u2019.<\/p>\n
The 2002 World Cup winner \u2013 widely regarded as the greatest striker of his generation \u2013 has just got hitched to model Celina Locks, who is 13 years his junior. The pair, who tied the knot on the Spanish island of Ibiza, got engaged in January after Ronaldo had popped the question during a break in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n
Along with images from the big day, Celina wrote on social media: \u201cToday we bring our families together for an intimate religious celebration. And thus marks the beginning of a week of many celebrations.<\/p>\n

Celina is Ronaldo\u2019s third wife, with the icon previously married to Milene Domingues and Daniella Cicarelli. It is unclear whether kids are on the cards for the loved-up couple.<\/p>\n

Back in 2019, Ronaldo revealed in an interview with the Financial Times he had some sperm \u2018on ice\u2019. \u201cI have some on ice. Enough to make a football team,\u201d he boldly declared. <\/p>\n

Aside from his mountain of goals for the likes Barcelona, both Milan clubs and Real Madrid, Ronaldo will forever be remembered for his off-on appearance in the 1998 World Cup final against France. At the height of his powers, Ronaldo\u2019s omission from Brazil\u2019s original teamsheet shocked the football world. <\/p>\n
An updated version of the teamsheet did include him and he indeed started the game, which saw France romp to a 3-0 victory on home soil. It later emerged that Ronaldo had suffered seizure. In the same FT interview, he admitted the same would happen again in the 2002 final against Germany in Japan. <\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIn the final in Yokohama, the match was at eight at night, the same time as it was in Paris. After lunch, everybody went to sleep and I [thought], \u2018I don't want to sleep, f***\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was looking around for some people to talk to and I found [goalkeeper] Dida, who was so sleepy. I said, 'No, you, please stay with me\u2019. I didn't sleep that day, afraid something should happen again. Dida stayed with me the whole time.\u201d<\/p>\n
