A career marked by goals, awards and records
He can be liked or hated, be mired in controversy and score brilliant goals. But it is a fact that Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most complete players the sport has seen in his long history. The Portuguese, today a Juventus player in Turin, has won all the possible titles that a player aspires to, both individually and collectively (with the exception of the World Cup). His career has been endowed with unforgettable moments that we review in the following lines.
His transfer to Manchester United in 2003 from Sporting Lisbon was his entry into the international arena and his birth as a world star. With the Red Devils he began to shine thanks to his skill and goalscoring instinct that led him to score the thousandth goal in the history of the Premier League in the 2005-06 season and be chosen as the best young player of the year. He also started his harvest of major trophies like the 2008 Champions League against Chelsea. His signing for Real Madrid His good performance in England led him to sign for Real Madrid in 2009.
It was with the Merengues that his maturity as a footballer and leader was consolidated, breaking all kinds of records, including becoming the top scorer in the history of the Spanish club (450 goals). The presence of the Portuguese was decisive for Madrid to continue to rise to the top of European and world football. His goalscoring ability led him to break a record that seemed impossible Barely in his second season as a white, Ronaldo managed to break the record for goals in a campaign, the 38 of the Mexican Hugo Sánchez with Madrid himself, by making 41 annotations.
With this, the Portuguese showed that he had come to Spain to be the best player in the history of the merengue club. All the European Cups won with Real Madrid In addition to becoming a benchmark and figure in the White House and winning two League titles, among other trophies, Cristiano Ronaldo led Real Madrid to four Champions League wins: in 2014 and the glorious treble of 2016, 17 and 18. In this way, Madrid returned to govern Europe in a big way, having in Cristiano's boots their most lethal weapon to achieve such a monumental achievement.
The European Championship title with Portugal In 2016, Cristiano Ronaldo won his long-awaited European Cup as captain and benchmark of the Portuguese National Team. The Lusitanians defeated France 1-0 in the final with an agonizing goal in extra time from Éder. Ronaldo had to leave the game due to injury and watched the rest of the game from the bench, where he did not stop directing and supporting his teammates.
His most important individual distinctions There is something that defines Ronaldo's career: success. Five Ballon d'Ors, four Golden Boots, 1 FIFA World Player of the Year and 2 FIFA The Best awards are just some of the awards that the Portuguese player has received at different times in his career, demonstrating his voracious hunger to be recognized as the best in the world and in history.
His 700th goal Cristiano once again placed his name in the main sports headlines by scoring his 700th goal as a professional footballer. It was in the match in which Portugal faced Ukraine on October 14, 2019 in the Qualifiers for the European Championship.
The brand is made up of the sum of the following goals: Sporting de Portugal: 5 goals in 31 games. Manchester United: 118 goals in 292 games. Real Madrid: 450 goals in 438 games. Juventus: 32 goals in 51 games. Portugal: 95 goals in 162 games.
