It is probably berid+SSA since his grandmother is from Cape Verde or something like that

Atlanto-Mediterranid. Despite his SSA admixture and skin tone, he looks fully European and there are Portuguese people that look far more exotic.

[Erronkari]

Atlanto/Berid.

[Latinus]

Med/Berid.

Atlanto-med + exotic berid. looks latin american

"looks latin american" - just because of his sun tan.

If you see photos of him as a kid, you would see the difference in skin tone.

It is probably berid+SSA since his grandmother is from Cape Verde or something like that

Paternal Great-grandmother (bisavó paterna) Isabel Rosa da Piedade was born in Cabo Verde. She left to Madeira at age 16.
She married with José Aveiro (for those who don't know, Aveiro is a district South of Porto, North of Coimbra and West of Viseu in mainland Portugal) in Madeira.
They had a son Humberto, who married with Filomena.
Humberto and Filomena were the parents of José Dinis Aveiro who married with Maria Dolores dos Santos, and had Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro.

So 1 of the 8 great-grandparents of Cristiano Ronaldo was born in Cabo Verde.
Assuming she was 100% African, in a very basic estimation, Cristiano Ronaldo would be something like 100% : by 8 = 12,5%.

But it might be the case that this Great-grandmother was not 100% African, which is VERY likely. Cabo Verde was uninhabited before the arrival of the Portuguese and it is a very mixed archipelago.
There are studies that point to a great % of European Y-DNA:

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0051103

"Figure 3 shows the distribution of 10 NRY haplogroups defined by 10 binary markers in 431 males. The most frequent haplogroup in the total sample is R1b1b2 (42.7%), followed by E1b1a (18.8%); for all other haplogroups, frequencies are lower than 10%. R1b1b2 is the most common lineage in European populations, with frequencies ranging from 20% to 80% at the continental level [42] and from 59% to 66% in the Iberia Peninsula [43], [34]."

"According to the admixture analysis, the majority of male contributions to Cape Verde were derived from the Iberian Peninsula (0.68). The second most important contribution (0.27) came from West Africa, while contributions from Northern Africa and Sephardic Jews seem to have been residual (∼0.03 each, with wide confidence intervals)."


We will only know if Cristiano makes a DNA test, and that will even depend on the company.

Again, I find this to be biased against the Portuguese as usual.

Because Cristiano is a Portuguese guy from Madeira, everyone sees and stresses the non-European.

But what about Antoine Griezmann?
His entire maternal family comes from Paços de Ferreira, Porto district. But the name "Lopes" doesn't show up in his ID. So most people only see him as a guy with a Germanic surname, neglecting the fact that he is 50% Portuguese...

[The One]

He looks fully European tbh his facial features are European. It’s just his naturally wavy/curly hair that is a bit exotic, he just tans a lot. Atlantid or Atlanto med + CM
