Manchester United FC winger Cristiano Ronaldo was crowned European Footballer of the Year on Monday, capping a wonderful year for the prolific Portuguese international. And thanks to the UEFA Training Ground you can learn some of the star's top tricks in the UEFA Champions League Skills School.

Special skills

Former winners
The UEFA Champions League Skills Schools also features tricks by two former winners of the Ballon d'Or. There are step-by-step tutorials to three of 2005 winner Ronaldinho's best skills – the Fake Pass, theBack Pass and the Neck Roll – while Woody also offers his advice on how to perform some of legendary Frenchman Zinédene Zidane's specialities – the Heel Flick and the Drag-Back.

Big names
The Training Ground now hosts over 160 videos and features exclusive masterclass sessions from big name players such Kaká, Andrea Pirlo, Robinho, Zlatan Ibrahimović and Deco – among arguably the greatest array of football talent assembled for a learning-based website. Coaches Roy Hodgson and Lars Lagerbäck have also been recruited to help inform and educate players and coaches of all ages and abilities, while Europe's top referees offer guides to rules, regulations and much more - all as part of the most comprehensive guide to skills and tactics on the internet.
