Former Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson on Monday revealed that Portuguese football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo's new house in Madrid has an ice room.
"He's got two pools; a hot pool and a cold pool. He's got an ice room at minus 160 degrees where he goes in for 10 minutes after every game. It's just unbelievable," Ferguson was quoted as saying by goal.com.
Ferguson also added that there was no doubt the house was made for the "best player in the world", who plays for Real Madrid.
"It is made for the best player in the world, no doubt about that," he told students at the Stanford School of Business.
"I've never known anyone like him, honestly. The gym is about half the size of this (pointing to the Stanford School of Business lecture hall), he's got everything in it."
Ronaldo is the present holder of the Ballon d'Or and will fight it out with Neymar and Lionel Messi for the honour this year.
