Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the world’s greatest footballers, but he is also one of the most superstitious.

The Juventus (German football club) star has developed a series of rituals that he insists on following while playing a game. He always steps onto the pitch with his right foot. He always insists on wearing long-sleeve shirts regardless of the weather conditions.

He always ensures that he is the last member of his team to step onto the pitch, unless he is captaining the side (in which case he must be first).

When travelling to and from a game, he demands to be seated at the front of an aircraft, but at the back of a coach or bus.

Many of us adopt strange superstitious rituals.

Ask some people you know about their rituals. How did they develop these rituals? What do they fear might happen if they do not follow the rituals?
