Revealed: How CR7 Helped Club Rival Neymar:

FIFA Ballon d'Or presenter Kate Abdo has explained how Ronaldo helped the Brazilian at the Golden Ball gala in January.

"At the Ballon d'Or which I did in January, we do a little rehearsal with the players before they are going to go on stage for real," Abdo told Football Beyond Borders.

"He (Ronaldo) came out with Neymar, who is Brazilian and Ronaldo is Portuguese, so they both speak Portuguese, and although (Lionel) Messi and Neymar are teammates, it was Ronaldo who took him around, showed him where he had to go, made sure everything was translated for him.

"He was just very kind and very caring towards Neymar, the way he looked out for him and made sure he knew what he was doing. 

"And that's a side (of Ronaldo) maybe you don't expect."
