In 2009, the football world stopped to watch the most expensive transfer in history: Ronaldo’s £80 million move to Real Madrid.
The expectations were astronomical. Yet, in true Ronaldo fashion, he shattered every record.
- 450 goals in 438 matches
- Four Champions League titles
- Four more Ballon d’Or awards
Every time Ronaldo stepped onto the pitch, he was a force of nature — driven, hungry, and unstoppable.
A Nation’s Heartbeat
No matter how far his fame reached, Ronaldo’s greatest pride was always his country.
In 2016, he led Portugal to its first-ever major international triumph — the UEFA European Championship. Injured during the final, he stood on the sidelines, shouting instructions, rallying his team like a born leader.
Three years later, he lifted the UEFA Nations League trophy, cementing Portugal’s golden era.
With more than 220 appearances and 140 goals, Ronaldo remains Portugal’s all-time top scorer — not just a football hero but a symbol of perseverance and national pride.
