We go behind the scenes as CR7 was joined by over a thousand football fans inside the venue for the first ever viewing of the unique film-documentary.
Ronaldo made his entrance to the drive-in premiere in an Audi R8 Spyder driven by the champion of the Castrol EDGE powered 2010 VW Dakar Rally and avid Real Madrid fan Carlos Sainz.
The famous Ronaldo free kick was tested to determine if the strength and power was enough to destroy walls of glass. Cristiano went head to head against an elite sprinter in a unique battle of speed and agility before taking part in a pitch-black cross ball challenge!
Ronaldo commented: To be at the premiere of this Castrol EDGE film is a great experience. To finally see it on the big screen is very exciting. I m used to an audience when I m on the pitch but this is the first time that people will see what goes on behind closed doors. They will see the strength it takes to perform at the highest level. This film is about what gives me the edge and I hope that my fans enjoy it.
Wearing his Nike Mercurial Superfly III football boots, Ronaldo's every move was tracked using the latest innovative technology to give us an understanding of what components complete one of the greatest athletes in the world.
