As far as number one fans go, few can match the dedication shown to Cristiano Ronaldo by seventeen-year-old Frenchman Teddy de Almeida.

Based in Bressuire, a small village three hours away from Portugal's Euro 2016 training camp, not a day goes by when Teddy doesn't think about the Real Madrid superstar.His room is decorated with pictures, shirts and front covers of MARCA in tribute to Ronaldo, but he never sits still, always looking to change and improve ways of showing devotion.

"Every Sunday and Monday, I look for new pictures of Cristiano Ronaldo," he said."

I started following him at Manchester United ten years ago, I liked his style of play and when he moved to Real Madrid I started to watch more games."

But it wasn't Ronaldo's supreme ability on the pitch that caught Teddy's attention, rather the human aspect of his journey to the top."

I'm interested in his personal story, the hard work and how he reached the top," he continued.

Teddy will be able to watch Ronaldo and Portugal's European Championship adventure continue when they face Croatia in the last 16 on Saturday.
