We will no longer see Cristiano Ronaldo at the top of European football.
It's over with the signing this Friday of the Portuguese star at Al-Nassr, a club in Saudi Arabia.
Professional since 2002 at Sporting Portugal, the five-time Ballon d'Or has dominated European games for twenty years, even making the Champions League his favorite hunting ground.
5. His number of Champions Leagues and Golden Balls
If Cristiano Ronaldo made 7 his lucky number (his jersey number), he could make 5, another lucky charm.
First in 2008, the Portuguese won his first C1 with Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United, which opened the doors to his first Ballon d'Or.
A C1-Ballon d'or double, which he repeated three more times in 2014, 2016 and 2017. A fifth Ballon d'or in 2013, and a fifth Champions League in 2018 complete an extraordinary record on the individual and collective level.
141. His number of goals in the Champions League
He is indisputably the master of the C1.
In addition to his five coronations, he has above all hovered in the statistics table and especially in the scorer rankings.
Top scorer in the Champions League in seven different seasons, CR7 has a total of 141 goals.
His first achievement took place on April 10, 2007 against AS Roma.
He also totaled four goals in the final, or a stratospheric strike against Porto on April 15, 2009, voted the best goal of that year.
7. His number of league titles
Cristiano Ronaldo has won everywhere he has gone.
Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus can attest to that.
The Portuguese superstar can boast of having won the Premier League at least twice (2007, 2008, 2009), La Liga (2012, 2017), and Serie A (2019, 2020).
It is then difficult to count the number of trophies won with his various clubs.
We can add four Club World Cups (2008, 2014, 2016, 2017), and at least one Cup in each country where he has passed.
But we forget many others.
16. His number of consecutive seasons with at least 20 goals
The Ronaldo scoring machine never stopped.
Since the 2006-2007 season, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has consistently scored at least 20 goals each year.
Even last season at Manchester United, when he was 37 years old, CR7 still scored 24 goals in an extremely complicated year for the English club.
His most successful season remains 2014-2015 with 58 club goals scored in just 47 games.
