How Ronaldo has evolved since his time at Manchester United and his first Premier League championship (2007)
Nobody had ever heard of Ronaldo before the event began, but by the time it was through, everyone was aware of him.
Former United defender Mikael Silvestre held such opinion, Ronaldo has rejoined Manchester United.
They participated in a preseason friendly prior to the 2003–04 season's start against Sporting Lisbon.
Following a brilliant performance in that friendly, Sir Alex Ferguson convinced Ronaldo to sign with the team. Ronaldo later played 292 games for United, winning the first of his three Premier League championships in 2007 in addition to the Champions League, one FA Cup, and two League Cups.
Puska's champion goal (2009)
For Manchester United, Ronaldo scored 118 goals, including a spectacular screamer against Porto in the Champions League in which he picked up the ball 40 yards out and blasted it into the top corner.
The First-ever Fifa Puskas award for goal of the year went to this performance.
United made it to their second straight Champions League final, but Ronaldo's penultimate game before signing an £80 million transfer to Real Madrid that summer was defeated by Barcelona.
In the Copa del Rey final, xScores won (2011)
Ronaldo beats Barcelona with a goal.
Real Madrid won the game in extra time thanks to Ronaldo's spectacular header.
When Ronaldo scored the winning goal for Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final against fierce rivals Barcelona, he began to pay off the world record cost.
Angel di Maria's cross was met by Ronaldo, who rose at the far post and powered in a trademark header to bring the team its first championship.
Becomes the all-time highest scorer for Real (2015)
With 450 goals in just 438 games over the course of his nine seasons at Real, Ronaldo had an incredible scoring record.
With a goal against Levante in October 2015, he passed Raul, who had 323 goals, to become the club's all-time best scorer.
His previous club career's most productive season was 2014–15, when he scored 61 goals in 54 games, or one per 76 minutes on average.
Euro victory with Portugal (2016)
Ronaldo attained success on the international stage for the first time with Portugal, which won the 2016 European Championship by defeating France in the championship match in Paris.
Although the captain was hurt and in tears after only 25 minutes, it was a bittersweet time for him because he returned to hoist the Cup.
Fifth Ballon d'Or victory (2017)
Cristiano Ronaldo has won the Ballon d'Or 62 times, including in 2008, 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017.
Ronaldo earned the Ballon d'Or title as the world's finest player in 2008, 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017.
The latter came following a standout 2016–17 campaign in which he helped Real win the La Liga championship and the Champions League final against Juventus, scoring twice in that victory.
A century of Champions League goals (2018)
Ronaldo was the first player to enter the 100 club in the Champions League; Lionel Messi later followed.
With 134 goals in 176 appearances, he continues to be the competition's leading scorer after his two goals against Paris St-Germain in the round of 16.
Cycling infringement on Juventus (2018)
The manager of Real Madrid, Zinedine Zidane, had the perfect response.
He turned and shouted his approbation, while holding his hand to his head and displaying a look of bewilderment at what he had just witnessed. Ronaldo leaped into the air before acrobatically blasting with an amazing bicycle kick into the net's corner.
Even Juventus supporters came up to congratulate the man after his brilliant goal in the Champions League quarterfinal, who would subsequently join their team.
The first person to win five Champions League championships (2018)
At Real Madrid, Ronaldo won two La Liga championships and two Copa del Rey medals, but it was in Europe's top club tournament that he truly established himself as a legend.
He had already won the Champions League with United in 2008, but continued to do so with Real four more times. Prior to winning the championship three times in a row in 2016, 2017, and 2018, the first player to do so was born in 2014.
Equals the record for men's international goals (2021)
Ronaldo scored 109 goals for his country when he converted two penalties in Portugal's 2-2 draw with France at the European Championship earlier this year.
Together with Ali Daei, who scored 109 goals for Iran between 1993 and 2006, they hold the men's football world record for that statistic.
The accomplishment of reaching the record further enhanced the 36-year-reputation old's as an all-time great.
Lets I know how much do you love Ronaldo by giving the rank out of 10.?.
