Thierry Henry: What Cristiano Ronaldo does is just crazy
The France top marksman is amazed by the stats of the Portuguese ace, Ronaldo's presence at the FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala has been confirmed

Former France striker Thierry Henry is impressed by the performance of Portugal and Real Madrid ace Cristiano Ronaldo.
Speaking to Sky sports as a guest during Wednesday's Champions League night, Henry lavished praise on the 28-year winger and brushing aside the buzz surrounding him.
"There has always been a lot of noise on Ronaldo and his attitude. But we must stop talking about his attitude and watch his stats," the former Arsenal and Barcelona striker said.
"What he does is just crazy. When Louis Saha was playing with him (at Manchester United), he told me that Ronaldo will become one day the best player in the World and for a long time. He said his standard is unbelievable. I waited to see that but now we have to give him credit for it," France's top scorer said.
Ronaldo scored against FC Copenhagen on Tuesday night to become the first player to have scored nine goals in the Champions League group stage.
He is also the top scorer of the Spanish League with 17 goals in 14 matches. Since joining Real Madrid in 2009, Ronaldo accumulated 163 goals in 149 league games and 44 goals in 45 UEFA Champions League encounters.
The Real Madrid ace is leading a final shortlist including Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Bayern Munich Franck Ribery for the FIFA Ballon d'Or 2013.
The French magazine France Football that co-organizes the award with FIFA confirmed on Thursday that he will attend the Gala on 13 January. His presence was very doubtful after FIFA President Sepp Blatter's recent remarks that he preferred Lionel Messi.
