Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most athletic football players in the business and he certainly takes a good advantage of his height for many of his special moves. Cristiano Ronaldo is definately a very tall guy for a soccer (football) player, having a height of 1,86m (6'1''), which allows him to run very fast and jump very high.
To set a term of comparison, we'll point out a few examples of heights from other football (soccer) players and sports athletes. How tall is Lionel Messi from Barcelona? The Argentinian is 1,69m (5'7''), 17cm less than Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldinho, currently playing in Fluminense, in Brazil, is 1,82m, which still puts him behind Cristiano Ronaldo in the height parameter. Manchester United players Wayne Rooney height is 1,78m and Nani is 1,75m. The AC Milan Swedish player Zlatan Ibrahimovic is taller Ronaldo, by having 1,91m (6'3''). One of the tallest football players still in action is surely Peter Crouch, who's height is 2,01m (6''7').
