Ex-Socceroo reveals hilarious Ronaldo tale as superstar lives up to ‘life of the party’ tag

Former Socceroos goalkeeper Zeljko Kalac has lifted the lid on Ronaldo’s legendary antics as he branded the Brazilian superstar the “life of the party”.

Kalac and Ronaldo were teammates at Italian giants AC Milan from 2007 to 2008, a period when the Rossoneri won the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup.

Ronaldo had only joined Milan in January 2007 in a $AUD13 million move from Real Madrid as injuries and weight issues took hold of his glittering career.

Even though Ronaldo managed just 20 appearances in total for Milan along with nine goals, he made a lasting impact on the squad both on and off the field.

And for Kalac, he’ll always have the memory of what transpired on the team bus in the celebrations following Milan’s Champions League triumph in the 2006/07 season.

“When we won the Champions League, I’ll never forget,” Kalac told foxsports.com.au.

“We got on the bus and we were a bit dusty from the celebrations from the night before. Everyone was hydrating, back on the waters.

“Ronaldo got on the bus and he had his water. He was sipping away on this water.

“He says, ‘Mate, do you want to have a drink?’ I said, ‘Mate, give me a sip of water, I can’t breathe.’
