LOS ANGELES -- (Business Wire)
Herbalife (NYSE:HLF), a global nutrition company, applauds its sponsored
athlete Cristiano Ronaldo on his accomplishment of having become the
first player to score
100 goals in European competitions in last week's first leg against
Bayern München. Ronaldo was also the first to score 100 goals in the
UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, April 18, helping his team, Real
Madrid, advance to the team’s record seventh straight semi-finals.
Herbalife Nutrition proudly supports more than 190 teams and athletes
globally.
"Our mission is to help people around the world live healthy, active
lives, and Cristiano’s outstanding accomplishments are an inspiration to
us all, showing us what can be achieved through hard work and
dedication," said Michael O. Johnson, chairman and CEO, Herbalife.
"Herbalife Nutrition is proud to fuel the performance of athletes around
the globe with our endurance, hydration and recovery nutrition products."
Ronaldo, a highly decorated athlete, was recently named The Best FIFA
Men’s Player for 2016 and the most famous athlete in the world by ESPN.
These accolades add to other major awards in 2016 including the Union of
European Football Associations (UEFA) Golden Boot for being the leading
scorer in league matches from the top division of every European
national league. He is the only athlete to have won the Golden Boot four
times. Ronaldo has also won the 2015/16 UEFA Best Player in Europe Award
after leading Real Madrid to a first-place finish in the UEFA Champions
League, as well as leading his home country of Portugal to the UEFA Euro
2016 championship for the first time ever. And most recently he won the
Ballon d’ Or, the annual football award presented by France Football.

to improving sports nutrition and performance, Herbalife Nutrition
