Ronaldo began his senior career with Sporting CP, before signing
with Manchester United in 2003, winning the FA Cup in his first
season. He would also go on to win three consecutive Premier
League titles, the Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup;
at age 23, he won his first Ballon d'Or. Ronaldo was the subject of
the then-most expensive association football transfer when he
signed for Real Madrid in 2009 in a transfer worth €94 million
(£80 million). He became a key contributor and formed an attacking
trio with Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale which was integral to the
team winning four Champions Leagues from 2014 to 2018, including
La Décima. During this period, he won back-to-back Ballons d'Or in
2013 and 2014, and again in 2016 and 2017, and was runner-up
three times behind Lionel Messi, his perceived career rival. He also
became the club's all-time top goalscorer and the all-time top
scorer in the Champions League, and finished as the competition's
:
 top scorer for six consecutive seasons between 2012 and 2018.
With Real, Ronaldo won four Champions Leagues, two La Liga titles,
two Copas del Rey, two UEFA Super Cups and three Club World
Cups. In 2018, he signed for Juventus in a transfer worth an initial
€100 million (£88 million), the most expensive transfer for an Italian
club and for a player over 30 years old. He won two Serie A titles,
two Supercoppa Italiana trophies and a Coppa Italia, became the
inaugural Serie A Most Valuable Player and became the first
footballer to finish as top scorer in the English, Spanish and Italian
leagues. He returned to Manchester United in 2021, finishing his
only full season as the club's top scorer, before his contract was
terminated in 2022. In 2023, he signed for Al Nassr.

Ronaldo made his international debut for Portugal in 2003 at the age
of 18 and has since earned more than 200 caps, making him both
the country and history's most-capped player of all time, recognised
by the Guinness World Records.[9] With more than 100 goals at
international level, he is also the sports all-time top goalscorer.
Ronaldo has played in and scored at eleven major tournaments; he
scored his first international goal at Euro 2004, where he helped
Portugal reach the final. He assumed captaincy of the national team
in July 2008. In 2015, Ronaldo was named the best Portuguese
player of all time by the Portuguese Football Federation. The
following year, he led Portugal to their first major tournament title at
Euro 2016, and received the Silver Boot as the second-highest
goalscorer of the tournament. This achievement would see him
receive his fourth Ballon d'Or. He also led them to victory in the
inaugural UEFA Nations League in 2019, receiving the top scorer
award in the finals, and later received the Golden Boot as top scorer
of Euro 2020.

One of the world's most marketable and famous athletes, Ronaldo

was ranked the world's highest-paid athlete by Forbes in 2016,
2017, and 2023, and the world's most famous athlete by ESPN from
:
 2016 to 2019. Time included him on their list of the 100 most
influential people in the world in 2014. He is the first footballer and
the third sportsman to earn US$1 billion in his career.

Early life
Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro was born on 5 February 1985 in
the São Pedro parish of Funchal, the capital of the Portuguese island
of Madeira, and grew up in the nearby parish of Santo António.[10][11]
He is the fourth and youngest child of Maria Dolores dos Santos
Viveiros da Aveiro, who worked as a cook in the hospitality industry
and a cleaning woman,[12][13] and José Dinis Aveiro, a municipal
gardener at the Junta de Freguesia of Santo António and part-time
kit man for football club Andorinha.[14][15][16] His great-grandmother
on his father's side, Isabel da Piedade, an African woman, was born
in the island of São Vicente, in what was then Portuguese Cape
Verde, and moved to Madeira Island at 16.[17][18] He has one older
brother, Hugo, and two older sisters, Elma and Liliana Cátia "Katia".
[19]
He was named after actor and U.S. President Ronald Reagan,
whom his father was a fan of.[20] His mother revealed that she
wanted to abort him due to poverty, his father's alcoholism, and
having too many children already, but her doctor refused to perform
the procedure,[21][22] as abortions were illegal in Portugal at that
time.[23] Ronaldo grew up in an impoverished Roman Catholic home,
sharing a room with all his siblings.[24]

As a child, Ronaldo played for Andorinha from 1992 to 1995,[25]

where his father was the kit man,[14] and later spent two years with
Nacional. In 1997, aged 12, he went on a three-day trial with Sporting
CP, who signed him for a fee of £1,500.[26] He subsequently moved
:
 from Madeira to Lisbon to join Sporting CP's youth system.[26] By
age 14, while struggling with his school duties and responsibilities in
Escola EB2 de Telheiras, his school in the Telheiras area of Lisbon,
Ronaldo believed he had the ability to play semi-professionally and
agreed with his mother and his tutor at Sporting CP, Leonel Pontes,
[27]
to cease his education to focus entirely on football.[28][29] With a
troubled life as a student[30] and living in Lisbon area away from his
Madeiran family, he did not complete schooling beyond the 6th
grade.[31][32] While popular with other students at school, he had
been expelled after throwing a chair at his teacher, who he said had
"disrespected" him.[28] One year later, he was diagnosed with
tachycardia, a condition that could have forced him to give up
playing football.[33] Ronaldo underwent heart surgery where a laser
was used to cauterise multiple cardiac pathways into one, altering
his resting heart rate.[34] He was discharged from the hospital hours
after the procedure and resumed training a few days later.[35] In
2021, Cristiano Ronaldo's mother, Dolores Aveiro, stated in an
interview for Sporting CP's official television channel (Sporting TV)
that her son would be a bricklayer if he hadn't become a
professional football player.[36]

Club career

Sporting CP

CP's museum

At age 16, Ronaldo was promoted from Sporting's youth team by

first-team manager László Bölöni, who was impressed with his
dribbling.[37] He subsequently became the first player to play for the
club's under-16, under-17 and under-18 teams, the B team and the
first team, all within a single season.[26]

On 14 August 2002,[38] Cristiano Ronaldo, then 17, played his first

official match for a Sporting CP's senior team, in a UEFA Champions
League qualifying round at José Alvalade Stadium against Inter
Milan. He came on in the 58th[38] minute in place of Toñito.[39][40]

As far as the Portuguese football league system's competitions is

concerned, Sporting CP B was the 1st team in his senior career
playing domestically, where he debuted in a 2–1 away loss against
Sport Clube Lusitânia on 1 September 2002, in a game for the
Segunda Divisão B championship played in the Azores.[41] On 29
September 2002, Ronaldo made his debut in the Primeira Liga,
playing for Sporting CP's main team against Braga, and on 7
October, he scored two goals against Moreirense in their 3–0 win.
[42]
Over the course of the 2002–03 season, his representatives
suggested the player to Liverpool manager Gérard Houllier and
Barcelona president Joan Laporta.[43] Manager Arsène Wenger, who
was interested in signing Ronaldo, met with him at Arsenal's
stadium in November to discuss a possible transfer.[44]
:
 Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson was determined to
acquire Ronaldo on a permanent move urgently, after Sporting
defeated United 3–1 at the inauguration of the Estádio José Alvalade
on 6 August 2003. Initially, United had planned to sign Ronaldo and
loan him back to Sporting for a year.[45] Having been impressed by
him, the United players urged Ferguson to sign him. After the game,
Ferguson agreed to pay Sporting £12.24 million[45] for what he
considered to be "one of the most exciting young players" he had
ever seen.[46] A decade after his departure from the club, in 2013,
Sporting honoured Ronaldo by selecting him to become their
100,000th member.[47]

was completed on 12 August 2003, too "There have been

Ronaldo playing for Manchester

United against Chelsea during
the 2005–06 Premier League
season

Ronaldo made his debut as a substitute in a 4–0 home win over

Bolton Wanderers in the Premier League on 16 August 2003, and
received a standing ovation when he came on for Nicky Butt.[54] His
performance earned praise from Best, who hailed it as "undoubtedly
the most exciting debut" he had ever seen.[48] Ronaldo scored his
first goal for Manchester United with a free-kick in a 3–0 win over
Portsmouth on 1 November.[55] Three more league goals followed in
the second half of the campaign,[56] the last of which came against
Aston Villa on the final day of the season, a match in which he also
received the first red card of his career.[57] Ronaldo ended his first
:
 season in English football by scoring the opening goal in United's 3–
0 win over Millwall in the 2004 FA Cup Final, earning his first trophy.
[58]
BBC pundit Alan Hansen described him as the star of the final.
[59]
The British press had been critical of Ronaldo during the season
for his "elaborate" step-overs in trying to beat opponents,[60] but
teammate Gary Neville said he was "not a show pony, but the real
thing", and predicted he would become a world-class player.[61]

Ronaldo scored United's 1,000th Premier

the club.[73]

Although his World Cup altercation with

Rooney resulted in Ronaldo being booed throughout the 2006–07
season,[74] it proved to be his break-out year, as he broke the 20-
goal barrier for the first time and won his first Premier League title.
An important factor in this success was his one-to-one training by
first-team coach René Meulensteen, who taught him to make
himself more unpredictable, improve his teamwork, call for the ball
and capitalise on goalscoring opportunities rather than waiting for
the chance to score the aesthetically pleasing goals for which he
was already known.[75] He scored three consecutive braces at the
end of December, against Aston Villa (a win that put United on top of
the league), Wigan and Reading.[76][77][78] Ronaldo was named the
Premier League Player of the Month in November and December,
becoming only the third player to receive consecutive honours.[79]

Premier League season

At the quarter-final stage of the 2006–07 UEFA Champions League,

Ronaldo scored his first goals in his 30th match in the competition,
[80]
scoring twice in a 7–1 win over Roma.[81] He subsequently
scored four minutes into the first semi-final leg against Milan, which
ended in a 3–2 win,[82] but was marked out of the second leg as
United lost 3–0 at the San Siro.[83] He also helped United reach the
2007 FA Cup Final, but the final against Chelsea ended in a 1–0
defeat.[84] Ronaldo scored the only goal in the Manchester derby on
5 May (his 50th goal for the club), as United won their first league
title in four years.[85] As a result of his performances, he amassed a
host of personal awards for the season. He won the Professional
Footballers' Association's Player's Player, Fans' Player and Young
Player of the Year awards, as well as the Football Writers'
Association's Footballer of the Year award,[86][87] becoming the first
player to win all four main PFA and FWA honours.[88] His wages were
raised to £120,000 a week as part of a five-year contract extension.
[89]
Ronaldo was named runner-up to Kaká for the 2007 Ballon d'Or,
[90]
and came third, behind Kaká and Lionel Messi, in the running for
the 2007 FIFA World Player of the Year award.[91]

Ronaldo scored his first hat-trick for United in a 6–0 win against
Newcastle United on 12 January 2008, which put United top of the
league table.[92] On 19 March, he captained United for the first time
in a home win over Bolton and scored both goals in a 2–0 win.[93]
:
 His second goal was his 33rd of the campaign, surpassing George
Best's total of 32 goals in the 1967–68 season, setting the club's
new single-season record by a midfielder.[94] His 31 league goals
earned him the Premier League Golden Boot,[95] as well as the
European Golden Shoe, which made him the first winger to win the
latter award.[96] He additionally received the PFA Players' Player of
the Year and FWA Footballer of the Year awards for the second
consecutive season.[97][98] In the knockout stage of the Champions
League, Ronaldo scored the decisive goal against Lyon to help
United advance to the quarter-finals 2–1 on aggregate;[99] while
playing as a striker, he scored with a header in the 3–0 aggregate
win over Roma.[100] United reached the final against Chelsea in
Moscow on 21 May, where, despite his opening goal being negated
by an equaliser and his penalty kick being saved in the shoot-out,
[101]
United emerged victorious 1–1, winning the penalties 6–5.[102]
[103]
As the Champions League top scorer, Ronaldo was named the
UEFA Club Footballer of the Year.[104]

Ronaldo scored a total of 42 goals in all competitions during the

2007–08 season, his most prolific campaign during his time in
England. He missed three matches after headbutting a Portsmouth
player at the start of the season, an experience he said taught him
not to let opponents provoke him.[105] As rumours circulated of
Ronaldo's interest in moving to Real Madrid, United filed a tampering
complaint with governing body FIFA over Madrid's alleged pursuit of
their player, but they declined to take action.[106] FIFA president
Sepp Blatter asserted that the player should be allowed to leave his
club, describing the situation as "modern slavery".[107] Despite
Ronaldo publicly agreeing with Blatter,[108] he remained at United
for another year.[109]
:
 2008–2009: Ballon d'Or and
continued success

Ronaldo in 2009 with Manchester

United playing in a Premier
League game against Liverpool

Ahead of the 2008–09 season, on 7 July, Ronaldo underwent ankle

surgery,[110] which kept him out of action for 10 weeks.[111] Following
his return, he scored his 100th goal in all competitions for United
with the first of two free kicks in a 5–0 win against Stoke City on 15
November,[112] which meant he had now scored against all 19
opposition teams in the Premier League at the time.[113] At the close
of 2008, Ronaldo helped United win the 2008 FIFA Club World Cup
in Japan,[114] assisting the final-winning goal against Liga de Quito
and winning the Silver Ball in the process.[115] With his 2008 Ballon
d'Or and 2008 FIFA World Player of the Year, Ronaldo became
United's first Ballon d'Or winner since Best in 1968,[116] and the first
Premier League player to be named the FIFA World Player of the
Year.[117]

His match-winning goal in the second leg against Porto, a 40-yard

strike, earned him the inaugural FIFA Puskás Award, presented by
FIFA in recognition of the best goal of the year;[118] he later called it
the best goal he had ever scored.[119] United advanced to the final in
:
 Rome,[120] where he made little impact in United's 2–0 defeat to
Barcelona.[121] Ronaldo ended his time in England with nine trophies,
as United claimed their third successive league title and a Football
League Cup.[122][123] He finished the campaign with 26 goals in all
competitions, 16 goals fewer than the previous season, in four more
appearances.[124] His final goal for United came on 10 May 2009
with a free kick in the Manchester derby at Old Trafford.[125]

Real Madrid

As his usual number 7

was unavailable, Ronaldo
wore number 9 during his
debut season at Madrid.
After Raúl departed the
club, Ronaldo was
handed the number 7
shirt before the 2010–11
season.
:
 Ahead of the 2009–10 season, Ronaldo joined Real Madrid for a
world record transfer fee at the time of £80 million (€94 million).
[126]
His contract, which ran until 2015, was worth €11 million per
year and contained a €1 billion buy-out clause.[127] At least 80,000
fans attended his presentation at the Santiago Bernabéu,
surpassing the 25-year record of 75,000 fans who had welcomed
Diego Maradona at Napoli.[128] Since club captain Raúl already wore
the number 7 (the number Ronaldo wore at United), Ronaldo
received the number 9 shirt,[129] which was presented to him by
former Madrid player Alfredo Di Stéfano.[130]

2009–2013: world record

transfer and La Liga title
Ronaldo made his La Liga debut against Deportivo La Coruña on 29
August, scoring a penalty in a 3–2 home win.[131] He scored in each
of his first four league games, the first Madrid player to do so.[132]
His first Champions League goals for the club followed with two free
kicks in the first group match against Zürich.[133] His strong start to
the season was interrupted when he suffered an ankle injury in
October while on international duty, which kept him sidelined for
seven weeks.[134][135] A week after his return, he received his first
red card in Spain in a match against Almería.[136] Midway through
the season, Ronaldo finished second in the 2009 Ballon d'Or and the
2009 FIFA World Player of the Year awards, behind Messi. He
finished the season with 33 goals in all competitions, including a
hat-trick in a 4–1 win against Mallorca on 5 May 2010, his first in La
Liga,[137][138] and became Real Madrid's highest goalscorer that
season. Although Ronaldo helped amass a club record 96 points in
the league, he did not win a trophy in his first season.[139][140]
:
 Following Raúl's departure, Ronaldo was given the number 7 shirt
for Madrid before the 2010–11 season.[141] His subsequent return to
his Ballon d'Or-winning form was epitomised when, for the first time
in his career, he scored four goals in a single match during a 6–1 rout
against Racing Santander on 23 October.[142] Ronaldo subsequently
scored further hat-tricks against Athletic Bilbao, Levante, Villarreal
and Málaga.[143][144][145] Despite his performances, he did not make
the top three in the inaugural 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or.[146] During a
historic series of four Clásicos against rivals Barcelona in April 2011,
Ronaldo scored twice to equal his personal record of 42 goals in all
competitions. Though he failed to score in either leg of the
Champions League semi-finals as Madrid were eliminated, he
equalised from the penalty spot in the return league game and
scored the match-winning goal in the 103rd minute of the 2011 Copa
del Rey Final, winning his first trophy in Spain.[147][148] His two goals
in the last match of the season against Almería made him the first
player in La Liga to score 40 goals.[149] In addition to the Pichichi
Trophy, Ronaldo won the European Golden Shoe for a second time,
becoming the first player to win the award in different leagues.[150]
:
 Ronaldo scored 46
league goals during the
La Liga championship
success in his third
season in Spain.

During the following season, Ronaldo achieved a new personal best

of 60 goals in all competitions.[151] He finished as runner-up to
Messi for the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or, after scoring hat-tricks against
Real Zaragoza, Rayo Vallecano, Málaga, Osasuna and Sevilla, the
last of which put Madrid on top of the league by the season's
midway point.[152][153][154] Ronaldo found greater team success in
the league, helping Madrid win their first league title in four years
with a record 100 points. Following a hat-trick against Levante as
Madrid further increased their lead over Barcelona,[155] he scored
his 100th league goal for Madrid in a 5–1 win over Real Sociedad on
24 March 2012, a milestone he reached in just 92 matches across
three seasons, breaking the previous club record held by Ferenc
Puskás.[156] Another hat-trick in the Madrid derby against Atlético
Madrid brought his total to 40 league goals, equalling his record of
the previous season.[157] His final league goal of the season, against
Mallorca, took his total to 46 goals, four short of the new record set
:
 by Messi,[158] though he became the first player to score against all
19 opposition teams in a single La Liga season.[159]

Ronaldo began the 2012–13 season by lifting the 2012 Supercopa de

España, his third trophy in Spain. With a goal in each leg, he helped
Madrid win the Spanish Super Cup on away goals following a 4–4
aggregate draw against Barcelona.[160] Although Ronaldo publicly
commented that he was unhappy with a "professional issue" within
the club, prompted by his refusal to celebrate his 150th goal for
Madrid,[161] his goalscoring rate did not suffer. After netting a hat-
trick, including two penalties, against Deportivo, he scored his first
hat-trick in the Champions League in a 4–1 win over Ajax.[162] Four
days later, he became the first player to score in six successive
Clásicos when he hit a brace in a 2–2 draw at Camp Nou.[163] His
performances again saw Ronaldo voted second in the running for
the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or, behind four-time winner Messi.[164]

2013–2015: consecutive
Ballon d'Or wins and La
Décima
Following the 2012–13 winter break, Ronaldo captained Madrid for
the first time in an official match, scoring twice to lift 10-man Madrid
to a 4–3 win over Sociedad on 6 January.[165] He subsequently
became the first non-Spanish player in 60 years to captain Madrid in
El Clasico on 30 January, a match which also marked his 500th club
appearance.[166] Three days prior, he had scored his 300th club goal
as part of a perfect hat-trick against Getafe.[167] He scored his
200th goal for Madrid on 8 May in a 6–2 win against Málaga,
reaching the landmark in 197 games.[168] He helped Madrid reach
:
 the 2013 Copa del Rey Final by scoring twice in El Clásico, which
marked the sixth successive match at Camp Nou in which he had
scored,[169] a club record.[160] In the final, he headed the opening
goal of an eventual 2–1 extra time defeat to Atlético, but was shown
a red card for violent conduct.[170] In the first knockout round of the
Champions League, Ronaldo faced his former club Manchester
United for the first time. After scoring the equaliser in a 1–1 draw at
home,[171] he scored the winning goal in a 2–1 win on his first return
to Old Trafford.[172] He did not celebrate scoring against his former
club as a mark of respect.[173] After scoring three goals against
Galatasaray in the quarters, he scored Madrid's only goal in the 4–1
away defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the semi-finals and Real were
eliminated at the semi-final stage for the third consecutive year
despite a 2–0 win in the second leg.[174]

Ronaldo scored a record

17 UEFA Champions
League goals during the
2013–14 season en route
to La Décima.

At the start of the 2013–14 season, Ronaldo signed a new contract

that extended his stay by three years to 2018, with a salary of
€17 million net, making him briefly the highest-paid player in
:
 football.[175] He was joined at the club by winger Gareth Bale, whose
world record transfer fee of €100 million surpassed the fee Madrid
had paid for Ronaldo four years prior.[176] Together with striker
Karim Benzema, they formed an attacking trio popularly dubbed
"BBC", an acronym of Bale, Benzema and Cristiano, and a play on
the name of the British public service broadcaster, the British
Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).[177] By late November, Ronaldo
had scored 32 goals from 22 matches for both club and country,
including hat-tricks against Galatasaray, Sevilla, Real Sociedad,
Northern Ireland, and Sweden.[178][179][180] He ended 2013 with 69
goals in 59 appearances, his highest year-end goal tally.[181] He
received the 2013 FIFA Ballon d'Or, an amalgamation of the Ballon
d'Or and the FIFA World Player of the Year award, for the first time in
his career.[182]

Concurrently with his individual achievements, Ronaldo enjoyed his

greatest team success in Spain to date, as he helped Madrid win La
Décima, their tenth European Cup. His goal in a 3–0 home win over
Dortmund (his 100th Champions League match) took his total for
the season to 14 goals, equalling the record Messi had set two years
before.[183] After hitting a brace in a 4–0 defeat of Bayern Munich at
the Allianz Arena,[184] he scored from the penalty spot in the 120th
minute of the 4–1 final win over Atlético, becoming the first player to
score in two European Cup finals for two different winning teams.
[185]
His overall performance in the final was subdued as a result of
patellar tendinitis and related hamstring problems, which had
plagued him in the last months of the campaign. Ronaldo played the
final against medical advice, later commenting: "In your life you do
not win without sacrifices and you must take risks".[186] As the
competition's top goalscorer for the third time, with a record 17
goals,[187] he was named the UEFA Best Player in Europe.[188]

In the Copa del Rey, Ronaldo helped Madrid reach the final by
scoring two penalties against Atlético at the Vicente Calderón,[189]
:
 the first of which meant he had now scored in every single minute of
a 90-minute football match.[190] His continued issues with his knee
and thigh caused him to miss the final, where Madrid defeated
Barcelona 2–1 to claim the trophy.[191] Ronaldo scored 31 goals in 30
league games, which earned him the Pichichi and the European
Golden Shoe, receiving the latter award jointly with Liverpool striker
Luis Suárez.[192] Among his haul was his 400th career goal, in 653
appearances for club and country, which came with a brace against
Celta Vigo on 6 January; he dedicated his goals to compatriot
Eusébio, who had died two days before.[193] A last-minute, back-
heeled volley scored against Valencia on 4 May (his 50th goal in all
competitions) was recognised as the best goal of the season by the
Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional,[194] which additionally named
Ronaldo the Best Player in La Liga.[195]

During the 2014–15

season Ronaldo scored a
personal best of 61 goals
in all competitions.

During the 2014–15 season, Ronaldo set a new personal best of 61

goals, starting with both goals in Madrid's 2–0 win over Sevilla in the
UEFA Super Cup.[196] He subsequently achieved his best-ever
goalscoring start to a league campaign, with 15 goals in the first
:
 eight rounds.[197] His record 23rd La Liga hat-trick, scored against
Celta Vigo on 6 December, made him the fastest player to reach 200
goals in La Liga, reaching the milestone in 178th matches.[197][198]
After winning the 2014 FIFA Club World Cup,[199] Ronaldo received
the 2014 Ballon d'Or,[200] joining Johan Cruyff, Michel Platini and
Marco van Basten as a three-time recipient.[201] Madrid finished in
second place in La Liga and exited at the semi-final stage in the
Champions League.[202] In the latter competition, Ronaldo extended
his run of scoring away to a record 12 matches with his strike in a 2–
0 win against Schalke 04.[203] He scored both of his side's goals in
the semi-finals against Juventus, where Madrid were eliminated 3–2
on aggregate.[204] With 10 goals, he finished as top scorer for a third
consecutive season, alongside Messi and Neymar.[205] On 5 April,
he scored five goals in a game for the first time in his career,
including an eight-minute hat-trick, in a 9–1 rout of Granada.[206]
His 300th goal for his club followed three days later in a 2–0 win
against Rayo Vallecano.[207] Subsequent hat-tricks against Sevilla,
Espanyol and Getafe took his number of hat-tricks for Madrid to 31,
surpassing Di Stéfano's club record of 28.[196] He finished the
season with 48 goals, winning a second consecutive Pichichi and
the European Golden Shoe for a record fourth time.[196]

2015–2017: all-time Madrid

top scorer
At the start of his seventh season at Madrid, the 2015–16 campaign,
Ronaldo became the club's all-time top scorer, first in the league
and then in all competitions. His five-goal haul in a 6–0 away win
over Espanyol on 12 September took his tally in La Liga to 230 goals
in 203 games, surpassing the club's previous record holder, Raúl.
[208]
A month later, on 17 October, he again surpassed Raúl when he
:
 scored the second goal in a 3–0 defeat of Levante at the Bernabéu
to take his overall total for the club to 324 goals.[note 4] Ronaldo also
became the all-time top scorer in the Champions League with a hat-
trick in the first group match against Shakhtar Donetsk, having
finished the previous season level with Messi on 77 goals.[210] Two
goals against Malmö FF in a 2–0 away win on 30 September saw him
reach the milestone of 500 career goals for club and country.[211] He
subsequently became the first player to score double figures in the
competition's group stage, setting the record at 11 goals, including
another four-goal haul against Malmö.[212]

By March 2016, Ronaldo had scored

252 goals in 228 matches in La Liga to
become the competition's second-
highest goalscorer.

Ronaldo's four goals in a 7–1 home win over Celta de Vigo on 5

March 2016 took his total to 252 goals in La Liga, becoming the
competition's second-highest scorer in history behind Messi.[213]
He scored a hat-trick against VfL Wolfsburg to send his club into the
Champions League semi-finals.[214] The treble took his tally in the
competition to 16 goals, making him the top scorer for the fourth
consecutive season and the fifth overall.[215] Suffering apparent
fitness issues, Ronaldo gave a poorly-received performance in the
final against Atlético, in a repeat of the 2014 final, though his penalty
in the subsequent shoot-out secured Madrid's 11th victory.[216] For
the sixth successive year, he ended the season having scored over
:
 50 goals across all competitions.[216] For his efforts during the
season, he received the UEFA Best Player in Europe Award for a
second time.[217]

Ronaldo missed Madrid's first three matches of the 2016–17 season,

including the 2016 UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla, as he continued
to rehabilitate the knee injury he suffered against France in the Euro
2016 final.[218] On 15 September, he did not celebrate his late free
kick equaliser against Sporting CP in the Champions League, with
Ronaldo stating post match that "they made me who I am".[219] On 7
November, his contract was updated for the second time and
extended by three years to 2021.[220] On 19 November, he scored a
hat-trick in a 3–0 away win against Atlético, making him the all-time
top scorer in the Madrid derby with 18 goals.[221] On 15 December,
Ronaldo scored his 500th club career goal in the 2–0 win over Club
América in the semi-finals of the 2016 FIFA Club World Cup.[222] He
then scored a hat-trick in the 4–2 win over Japanese club Kashima
Antlers in the final.[223] Ronaldo finished the tournament as top
scorer with four goals and was also named player of the tournament.
[224]
He won the 2016 Ballon d'Or, his fourth, and the inaugural 2016
The Best FIFA Men's Player, a revival of the former FIFA World Player
of the Year, largely owing to his success with Portugal in winning
Euro 2016.[225]

President of the Community of Madrid,
during the 2016 Champions League
title celebrations in Madrid
:
 In the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals against
Bayern in April, Ronaldo scored both goals in a 2–1 away win which
saw him make history by becoming the first player to reach 100
goals in UEFA club competition.[226] In the second leg of the
quarter-finals, Ronaldo scored a 'perfect' hat-trick and reached his
100th Champions League goal, becoming the first player to do so as
Madrid again defeated Bayern 4–2 after extra-time.[227] On 2 May,
Ronaldo scored another hat-trick as Madrid defeated Atlético 3–0 in
the Champions League semi-final first leg. On 17 May, Ronaldo
overtook Jimmy Greaves as the all-time top scorer in the top five
European leagues, scoring twice against Celta de Vigo.[228] He
finished the season with 42 goals in all competitions as he helped
Madrid to win their first La Liga title since 2012.[229] In the
Champions League Final, Ronaldo scored two goals in a 4–1 victory
over Juventus to take him to 12 goals for the season, making him the
competition's top goalscorer for the fifth straight season (sixth
overall), as well as the first player to score in three finals in the
Champions League era; the second goal was the 600th of his senior
career.[230] Madrid also became the first team to win back-to-back
finals in the Champions League era.[231]

2017–2018: fifth Ballon d'Or

and fifth Champions League
win
At the start of the 2017–18 season, Ronaldo scored Madrid's second
goal in the 80th minute of a 3–1 win over Barcelona in the first leg of
the 2017 Supercopa de España at Camp Nou; however, he was sent
off two minutes later and missed the second leg.[232] On 23
October, his performances throughout 2017 saw him awarded The
:
 Best FIFA Men's Player award for the second consecutive year.[233]
On 6 December, he became the first player to score in all six
Champions League group stage matches with a curling strike at
home to Dortmund.[234] A day later, Ronaldo won the 2017 Ballon
d'Or, receiving his fifth-time award on the Eiffel Tower in Paris.[235]
On 16 December, he scored a free kick winner, as Madrid won their
second Club World Cup in a row by beating Grêmio in the final.[236]
On 3 March 2018, he scored two goals in a 3–1 home win over
Getafe, his first being his 300th La Liga goal in his 286th
appearance, making him the fastest player to reach this landmark
and only the second player to do so after Messi.[237] On 18 March,
he reached his 50th career hat-trick, scoring four goals in a 6–3 win
against Girona.[238]

Ronaldo in the 2018 UEFA

Champions League Final, his
final game for Real Madrid

On 3 April, Ronaldo scored the first two goals in a 3–0 away win
against Juventus in the quarter-finals of the 2017–18 UEFA
Champions League, with his second goal being an acrobatic bicycle
kick. Described as a "PlayStation goal" by Juventus defender
Andrea Barzagli, with Ronaldo's foot approximately 7 ft 7 in (2.31 m)
:
 off the ground, it garnered him a standing ovation from the opposing
fans in the stadium as well as a plethora of plaudits from peers,
pundits and coaches.[239] On 11 April, he scored in the second leg at
home to Juventus, a 98th-minute injury time penalty in a 3–1 defeat,
meaning Madrid advanced 4–3 on aggregate.[240] It was his tenth
goal against Juventus, a Champions League record against a single
club.[241] In the final on 26 May, Madrid defeated Liverpool 3–1,
winning Ronaldo his fifth Champions League title, the first player to
do so.[242] He finished as the top scorer of the tournament for the
sixth consecutive season with 15 goals.[243] After the final, Ronaldo
referred to his time with Madrid in the past tense, sparking
speculation that he could leave the club.[244]

Juventus
Despite months of negotiation to sign a new Real Madrid contract,
[245]
on 10 July 2018, Ronaldo signed a four-year contract with
Italian club Juventus after completing a €100 million transfer, which
included an additional €12 million in other fees and solidarity
contributions to Ronaldo's youth clubs.[246] The transfer was the
highest ever for a player over 30 years old,[247] and the highest paid
by an Italian club.[248] Upon signing, Ronaldo cited his need for a
new challenge as his rationale for departing Madrid,[249] but later
attributed the transfer to the lack of support he felt was shown by
club president Florentino Pérez.[250]
:
 2018–2020: consecutive
Serie A titles
On 18 August, Ronaldo made his debut in a 3–2 away win against
Chievo Verona.[251] On 16 September, Ronaldo scored his first two
goals for Juventus in his fourth appearance in a 2–1 home win over
Sassuolo in Serie A; his second was the 400th league goal of his
career.[252] On 19 September, in his first Champions League match
for Juventus, against Valencia, he was sent off in the 29th minute
for "violent conduct", his first red card in 154 tournament
appearances.[253] Ronaldo became the first player in history to win
100 Champions League matches, setting up Mario Mandžukić's
winner in a 1–0 home win over Valencia, which sealed Juventus's
passage to the knock-out stages of the competition.[254] In
December, he scored his tenth league goal of the season, from the
penalty spot, the third in a 3–0 away win over Fiorentina.[255] After
placing second in both the UEFA Men's Player of the Year and The
Best FIFA Men's Player for the first time in three years, behind Luka
Modrić, Ronaldo performances in 2018 also saw him voted runner-
up for the 2018 Ballon d'Or, finishing once again behind his former
teammate.[256] Ronaldo won his first trophy with the club on 16
January 2019, the 2018 Supercoppa Italiana, after he scored the
only goal from a header against AC Milan.[257]

On 10 February, Ronaldo scored in a 3–0 win over Sassuolo, the

ninth consecutive away game in which he had scored in the league,
equalling Giuseppe Signori's single season Serie A record of most
consecutive away games with at least one goal.[258] On 12 March,
Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in a 3–0 home win against Atlético in the
second leg of the Champions League round of 16, helping Juventus
overcome a two-goal deficit to reach the quarter-finals.[259] The
:
 following month, he scored his 125th goal in the competition,
opening the scoring in a 1–1 away draw in the quarter-final first leg
against Ajax on 10 April.[260] In the second leg in Turin on 16 April,
he scored the opening goal, but Juventus eventually lost the match
2–1 and were eliminated from the competition.[261] On 20 April,
Ronaldo played in the scudetto clinching game against Fiorentina, as
Juventus won their eighth successive title after a 2–1 home win,
thereby becoming the first player to win league titles in England,
Spain and Italy.[262] On 27 April, he scored his 600th club goal, the
equaliser in a 1–1 away draw against Derby d'Italia rivals Inter Milan.
[263]
Ending his first Serie A campaign with 21 goals and 8 assists,
Ronaldo won the inaugural Serie A award for Most Valuable Player.
[264]

Ronaldo playing for

Juventus against
Torino in November
2019

Ronaldo scored his first goal of the 2019–20 season in a 4–3 home
league win over Napoli on 31 August 2019.[265] On 23 September, he
:
 came in 3rd place for the Best FIFA Men's Player Award.[266] On 1
October, he reached several milestones in Juventus's 3–0
Champions League group stage win over Bayer Leverkusen: he
scored in a 14th consecutive season, equalling Raúl and Messi's
record; he broke Iker Casillas' record for most Champions League
wins of all time, and equalled Raúl's record of scoring against 33
different opponents.[267] On 6 November in a 2–1 away win against
Lokomotiv Moscow, he equalled Paolo Maldini as the second-most
capped player in UEFA club competitions with 174 appearances.[268]
On 18 December, Ronaldo leapt to a height of 8 ft 5 in (2.57 m),
higher than the crossbar, to head the winning goal in a 2–1 away win
against Sampdoria.[269] He scored his first Serie A hat-trick on 6
January 2020, in a 4–0 home win against Cagliari. His 56th career
hat-trick, he became only the second player after Alexis Sánchez to
score hat-tricks in the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A.[270] On
2 February, he scored twice from the penalty spot in a 3–0 home win
over Fiorentina, equalling David Trezeguet's club record of scoring
in nine consecutive league games,[271] and broke the record six days
later by scoring in his tenth consecutive league game, a 2–1 away
defeat to Hellas Verona.[272] On 22 February, Ronaldo scored for a
record-equalling 11th consecutive league game, alongside Gabriel
Batistuta and Fabio Quagliarella, in what was his 1,000th senior
professional game, a 2–1 away win against SPAL.[273]

On 22 June, he scored a penalty in a 2–0 away win over Bologna,

overtaking Rui Costa to become the highest scoring Portuguese
player in Serie A history.[274] On 4 July, he scored his 25th league
goal from a free kick in a 4–1 home win over rivals Torino, becoming
the first Juventus player to achieve this milestone since Omar Sívori
in 1961; the goal was also his first from a free kick with the club after
43 attempts.[275] On 20 July, Ronaldo scored twice in a 2–1 home
win over Lazio; his first goal was his 50th in Serie A. He became the
second-fastest player to reach this landmark, after Gunnar Nordahl,
and the first player in history to reach 50 goals in the Premier
:
 League, La Liga and Serie A, and becoming the second player after
Edin Džeko to score 50 goals in three of Europe's top five major
leagues.[276] With his brace, he also reached 30 league goals for the
season, becoming just the third player (after Felice Borel in 1934
and John Hansen in 1952) in Juventus's history to reach that
milestone in a season.[277][278] Moreover, he became the oldest
player, at the age of 35 years and 166 days, to score over 30 goals in
one of the five top European leagues since Ronnie Rooke with
Arsenal in 1948.[279] He also became the first player to score 30 or
more league goals in a single season in three different big-five
European leagues.[280] On 26 July, Ronaldo scored the opening goal
in a 2–0 home win over Sampdoria as Juventus were crowned Serie
A champions for a ninth consecutive time.[281] He finished his
second league campaign with 31 goals, making him the second-
highest goalscorer in the league behind only European Golden Shoe
winner Ciro Immobile, with 36 goals.[282][283] On 7 August, Ronaldo
scored a brace in a 2–1 home win against Lyon in the second leg of
the Champions League round of 16, which saw him finish the season
with 37 goals in all competitions; the tally allowed him to break
Borel's club record of 36 goals in a single season.[284] Despite the
win, the tie finished 2–2 on aggregate and Juventus were eliminated
from the competition on the away goals rule.[285]

2020–2021: 100 Juve goals,

Capocannoniere, and
departure
On 20 September 2020, Ronaldo scored in Juventus's opening
league match of the season, a 3–0 home win over Sampdoria.[286]
On 1 November, having taken nearly three weeks to recover from
:
 COVID-19, he returned to action against Spezia; he came off the
bench in the second half and scored within the first three minutes,
before scoring a second goal from the penalty spot in an eventual 4–
1 away win.[287] On 2 December, he scored a goal against Dynamo
Kyiv in a Champions League group stage match, his 750th senior
career goal.[288] Ronaldo played his 100th match in all competitions
for Juventus on 13 December, scoring two penalties in a 3–1 away
win over Genoa in the league to bring his goal tally to 79.[289] On 20
January 2021, Juventus won the 2020 Supercoppa Italiana after a
2–0 win against Napoli, with Ronaldo scoring the opening goal.[290]
On 2 March, he scored a goal in a 3–0 win over Spezia in his 600th
league match, to become the first player to score at least 20 goals in
12 consecutive seasons in the top five leagues of Europe.[291] On 14
March, he scored his 57th career hat-trick in a 3–1 away win over
Cagliari.[292] On 12 May, Ronaldo scored a goal in a 3–1 away win
over Sassuolo to reach his 100th goal for Juventus in all
competitions on his 131st appearance, becoming the fastest
Juventus player to achieve the feat.[293] With Juventus's victory in
the 2021 Coppa Italia Final on 19 May, Ronaldo became the first
player in history to win every major domestic trophy in England,
Spain and Italy.[294] Ronaldo ended the season with 29 league goals,
winning the Capocannoniere award for highest goalscorer and
becoming the first footballer to finish as top scorer in the English,
Spanish and Italian leagues.[295]

On 22 August, Ronaldo started the first game of the new season on

the bench, coming on as a substitute for Álvaro Morata in a 2–2
draw against Udinese, scoring a goal that was ruled out by VAR.[296]
Though manager Massimiliano Allegri confirmed it was his decision
due to Ronaldo's fitness, it came amid reports Ronaldo would depart
the club before the closure of the transfer window,[297] and Ronaldo
would tell Allegri he had "no intention" of remaining a Juventus
player.[298] On 26 August, Ronaldo and his agent Jorge Mendes
reached a verbal agreement with Manchester City over personal
:
 terms,[299] but the club pulled out of the deal the following day due
to the overall cost of the transfer.[300] On the same day, it was
confirmed that City's rivals Manchester United, Ronaldo's former
club, were in advanced talks to sign him,[301][302] while former
manager Alex Ferguson and several ex-teammates had been in
contact to persuade him to re-sign for United.[303][304]

Return to Manchester
United

2021–2022: 100 Premier

League goals and team
struggles
On 27 August 2021, Manchester United announced they had
reached an agreement with Juventus to re-sign Ronaldo, subject to
agreement of personal terms, visa and medical.[305] The transfer
was for an initial £12.85 million, with a two-year contract plus an
optional year, and was confirmed on 31 August.[306] Ronaldo was
given the number 7 shirt after Edinson Cavani agreed to switch to
21.[307] The first 24 hours of Ronaldo's shirt sales was reported to
have broken the all-time record following a transfer, overtaking
Messi after his move to Paris Saint-Germain.[308]
:
 Ronaldo in a Premier
League match against
Newcastle in September
2021, his first game back
at Manchester United

On 11 September, Ronaldo made his second debut at Old Trafford,

scoring the opening two goals in a 4–1 league victory against
Newcastle United.[309] On 29 September, he scored a last-minute
winner in United's 2–1 victory at home to Villarreal in the Champions
League, and overtook Iker Casillas as the player with the most
appearances in the competition.[310] In the next Champions League
fixture on 20 October, Ronaldo again scored a last minute winner,
helping United overturn a two-goal deficit in a 3–2 home victory
against Atalanta,[311] and scored both goals, including a last minute
equaliser, in the reverse fixture against Atalanta on 2 November.[312]
On 23 November, Ronaldo became the first player to score in five
consecutive matches of a Champions League campaign for an
English club, after opening United's 2–0 victory away against
Villarreal, with his six goals being crucial to United's qualifying for
the round of 16 as group winners.[313] On 2 December, Ronaldo
netted two goals in a 3–2 home league win against Arsenal, which
saw him surpass 800 career goals.[314]

The following month, after enduring a fractured relationship with his

:
 teammates and interim manager Ralf Rangnick, his performances
and his team's declined during the season, with Ronaldo equalling
his worst goalscoring run since 2010 during his time with Real
Madrid, being two months without scoring a goal,[315] before
scoring his first goal in the new year, opening United's 2–0 win
home against Brighton & Hove Albion on 15 February 2022.[316]
Following a hamstring injury, which saw him miss the Manchester
derby against Manchester City, Ronaldo made his return from injury
on 12 March, scoring a hat-trick in a 3–2 victory against Tottenham
Hotspur, which saw him pass Josef Bican's record for goals scored
in professional football with 807 career goals,[317] although the
Football Association of the Czech Republic claimed that Bican had
scored 821 career goals.[318] On 16 April, Ronaldo scored his 50th
club hat-trick in a 3–2 win over Norwich City.[319] On 23 April, he
scored his 100th Premier League goal in a 3–1 defeat to Arsenal.[320]
After scoring in the following matches against Chelsea and
Brentford, he was named the Premier League Player of the Month for
April.[321]

He finished the season with 24 goals in all competitions, 18 of those

goals being in the Premier League, making him the third-highest
goalscorer in the league behind Golden Boot winners Mohamed
Salah and Son Heung-min, being named in the Premier League Team
of the Year and the winner of United's Sir Matt Busby Player of the
Year award, given to the club's best player from the previous
season;[322][323] however, with United finishing in a disappointing
sixth place and qualifying for the UEFA Europa League, Ronaldo
went trophyless for the first time since 2010.[324]

2022: final season and

departure
:
 After growing dissatisfaction with the direction of United on and off
the field, Ronaldo missed the club's pre-season tour of Thailand and
Australia due to family reasons, amid reports of his desire to leave to
join a club competing in the Champions League, despite incoming
manager Erik ten Hag insisting that he was not for sale and was part
of the club's plans.[325] His agent Jorge Mendes began negotiating
with various clubs for a transfer on loan or on a free transfer,
including Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, with the
latter club's new owner Todd Boehly being keen on a possible
transfer.[326] However, due to his age, overall cost of a transfer and
high wages demands, multiple European clubs rejected the
opportunity to sign him, including Chelsea after their manager
Thomas Tuchel did not approve his signing.[327]

Ronaldo in a Premier League

match against Brighton &
Hove Albion in August 2022

Having failed to secure a transfer, Ronaldo lost his place in the

starting line-up to Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial, mostly
featuring in Europa League matches. He scored his first goal in the
competition aged 37, converting a penalty to make it 2–0 against
Sheriff Tiraspol on 15 September.[328] On 2 October, Ronaldo was an
unused substitute in United's 6–3 loss to Manchester City, with ten
:
 Hag saying that he refused to bring him on out of "respect for his
big career".[329] On 9 October, Ronaldo came on as a substitute and
scored his 700th career club goal in a 2–1 win against Everton.[330]
Ten days later, Ronaldo refused to be brought on as a substitute
during a home game against Tottenham and left the ground before
the full-time whistle;[331][332] Ten Hag punished him by dropping
him from the squad for an upcoming fixture with Chelsea, and made
him train separately from the first team.[333][334] Following
discussions with the manager, Ronaldo returned to training and
started in United's home win over Sheriff on 27 October, scoring the
third goal and ensuring United's qualification to the Europa League
knockout stage.[335] Ten Hag named Ronaldo as captain for a 3–1
defeat to Aston Villa on 6 November, saying that Ronaldo was "an
important part of the squad, we are happy with him and now he has
to take even more of the leader role".[336] Ronaldo then missed
United's following matches before the World Cup break, with Ten
Hag saying that Ronaldo was ill.[337]

On 14 November, an interview with Piers Morgan was published,

where Ronaldo said that he felt "betrayed" by Ten Hag and senior
executives who wanted Ronaldo to leave the club, and accused the
club of doubting him regarding the illness of his daughter that led
him to miss pre-season, adding that he did not respect ten Hag
"because he doesn't show respect for me", leading him to be
disappointed with the communication of the club.[338] Ronaldo
claimed that ten Hag deliberately provoked him by first leaving him
on the bench against City, and then wanting to bring him on in the
final moments against Tottenham, but added that he regretted his
decision to leave early.[338] He also questioned the appointment of
Rangnick the previous season as he was a "sporting director and not
even a coach".[338][339] On the club itself, Ronaldo stated there was
"no evolution" since the departure of former manager Alex Ferguson
in 2013, despite expecting changes in "technology, infrastructure".
[338][339]
Ronaldo claimed that the Glazer family "did not care about
:
 the club" as he never spoke with them, and described United as a
"marketing club".[338][339] Following the interview, which aired in
two-parts on 16 and 17 November, United began seeking legal
action over whether Ronaldo had breached his contract,[340] and
were looking to terminate his contract.[341] On 22 November,
Ronaldo's contract was terminated by mutual agreement with
immediate effect.[342]

Al Nassr
On 30 December 2022, Saudi club Al Nassr reached an agreement
for Ronaldo to join the club effective 1 January 2023, signing a
contract until 2025.[343] As reported by Fabrizio Romano of The
Guardian, Ronaldo received the highest football salary in history,
worth €200 million per year;[344][345] this included an annual
guaranteed football salary of €90 million, with commercial and
sponsorship deals included bringing his total annual salary to
€200 million. He was also reportedly paid a signing-on bonus in the
region of €100 million.[346] According to media reports, Ronaldo
rejected a move to Major League Soccer club Sporting Kansas City
to join Al Nassr.[347]

2023: debut season and

league runner-up
Ronaldo was due to appear in a match against Al-Tai on 5 January
2023, but had to serve a two-match ban incurred while he was still
:
 at Manchester United for knocking a phone out of a 14-year-old
Everton fan's hand after a 1–0 loss at Goodison Park in April 2022.
[348]
On 19 January, Ronaldo played for the first time since
transferring to Saudi Arabia, in an exhibition game featuring a
combined team of Riyadh's Al Nassr and Al Hilal players against
Paris Saint-Germain. Ronaldo scored twice in a 5–4 loss.[349] He
made his debut for Al Nassr on 22 January, as club captain, playing
the full 90 minutes of a 1–0 win over Al-Ettifaq,[350] and scored his
first goal in a 2–2 draw against Al-Fateh by converting a last-minute
penalty.[351] On 9 February, Ronaldo scored all four goals in a 4–0
win over Al Wehda, his first goal of the match being his 500th career
league goal.[352] On 25 February, he scored his second hat-trick for
the club, helping his side to a 3–0 away league victory against
Damac, in the process, he became the first player in the history of
Saudi Pro League to score a hat-trick in the first-half of a match.[353]
[354]
Ronaldo was awarded the Player of the Month award for
February after scoring eight goals and assisting twice.[355] Ronaldo
spent another season without winning a league title, as Al Nassr
finished second in the league in the 2022–23 season.[356]

a AFC Champions League
match against Persepolis
in September 2023

Ronaldo's signing for Al-Nassr resulted in increased popularity both

domestically and internationally of the Saudi Pro League, with
various European players such as Karim Benzema, Sadio Mané,
N'Golo Kanté, Rúben Neves, Riyad Mahrez, Roberto Firmino and
Neymar moving to the Saudi Pro League during the summer transfer
window, crediting Ronaldo as one of the main factors for moving to
the league.[357]

He scored his first goal of the 2023–24 season in a 4–1 win over
Union Monastirienne in the Arab Club Champions Cup on 31 July.
[358]
In the next Arab Club Champions Cup fixture on 3 August,
Ronaldo scored a late equaliser against Zamalek, to help his side
secure a 1–1 draw and qualify for the quarter-finals in second place
of their group.[359] In the semi-finals on 9 August, Ronaldo scored
the only goal of a win over Al-Shorta, converting a penalty to help Al
Nassr reach their first ever Arab Club Champions Cup final.[360] In
:
 the final on 12 August, Ronaldo scored both goals for a ten-man Al
Nassr as they defeated rivals Al-Hilal 2–1 after extra time to win the
competition for the first time in their history. Ronaldo was awarded
the competition's top scorer award having scored six goals in the
competition.[361]

On 18 August, Ronaldo made his first league appearance of the

season in a 2–0 defeat to Al-Taawoun,[362] and scored his first hat-
trick of the season in a 5–0 away win against Al-Fateh a week later.
[363]
On 29 August, Ronaldo scored twice and assisted once in a 4–0
win against rivals Al-Shabab.[364] Ronaldo was awarded the SPL
Player of the Month award for August after scoring five goals and
assisting twice.[365] On 2 September, he scored a goal in Al-Nassr's
5–1 away win against Al-Hazem, his 850th senior career goal.[366]
On 19 September, Ronaldo made his AFC Champions League debut,
starting in a 2–0 win over Persepolis, becoming the first player in
football history to record 1000 career games unbeaten (776 wins
and 224 draws).[367] Ronaldo received the SPL Player of the Month
award for a second consecutive month after recording five goals and
three assists in September.[368] On 2 October, he scored his first
AFC Champions League goal in the home fixture against Istiklol, the
equaliser in an eventual 3–1 win.[369] On 8 December, Ronaldo made
his 1200th senior career appearance for club and country, scoring
the first goal of a 4–1 win over Al-Riyadh.[370] On December 30,
Ronaldo closed the 4–1 win over Al Taawon. At the close of the year,
Ronaldo scored a record 54 goals in all competitions for Al-Nassr
and Portugal, making him the outright top scorer in 2023. His 54
goals was the most goals he had scored in a calendar year since
2016, and sixth time he achieved that feat in his career (2011, 2013,
2014, 2015, 2016 and 2023).[371][372]

In the first knockout round of the AFC Champions League, Ronaldo

faced fellow Saudi Arabian club Al-Fayha. After scoring the winner in
a 1–0 win away in his 1000th club appearance, he scored the
:
 winning goal in a 2–0 win at home, helping Al-Nassr reach the
quarter-finals of the competition.[373][374]

International career

2001–2007: youth level

and senior debut

Ronaldo (bottom left) playing for

Portugal during their semi-final
match against the Netherlands
at Euro 2004

Ronaldo began his international career with Portugal under-15 in

2001. During his international youth career, Ronaldo would
represent the under-15, under-17, under-20, under-21 and under-23
national sides, amassing 34 youth caps and scoring 18 goals overall.
[7]

Aged 18, Ronaldo made his first senior appearance for Portugal in a
1–0 win over Kazakhstan on 20 August 2003,[375] coming on as a
:
 half-time substitute for Luís Figo.[376] He was subsequently called
up for UEFA Euro 2004, held in his home country, and scored his
first international goal in a 2–1 group stage loss to eventual
champions Greece, his eighth appearance for Portugal.[376] After
converting his penalty in a shoot-out against England in the quarter-
finals,[377] he helped Portugal reach the final by scoring the opening
goal in a 2–1 win over the Netherlands.[378] He was featured in the
team of the tournament, having provided two assists in addition to
his two goals.[379]

Ronaldo was Portugal's second-highest scorer in their qualification

group for the 2006 FIFA World Cup with seven goals.[375] During the
tournament, he scored his first World Cup goal against Iran with a
penalty kick in Portugal's second match of the group stage.[380] At
the age of 21 years and 132 days, Ronaldo became the youngest
ever goalscorer for Portugal at a World Cup finals.[381] In Portugal's
infamously dirty round of 16 match against the Netherlands,
Ronaldo was forced off injured in the first half after a tackle from
Dutch defender Khalid Boulahrouz.[376] Following Portugal's 1–0
win, Ronaldo accused Boulahrouz of intentionally trying to injure
him, although he recovered in time to play in the next game.[382] In
Portugal's quarter-final against England, Ronaldo's Manchester
United teammate Wayne Rooney was sent off for stamping on
Portugal defender Ricardo Carvalho. Although the referee later
clarified that the red card was only due to Rooney's infraction,[383]
the English media speculated that Ronaldo had influenced his
decision by aggressively complaining, after which he was seen in
replays winking at Portugal's bench following Rooney's dismissal.
[376][384]
Ronaldo went on to score the vital winning penalty during
the shoot-out which sent Portugal into the semi-finals.[376] Ronaldo
was subsequently booed during their 1–0 semi-final defeat to
France.[385] FIFA's Technical Study Group overlooked him for the
tournament's Best Young Player award and handed it to Germany's
Lukas Podolski, citing his behaviour as a factor in the decision.[376]
:
 [386]
Following the 2006 World Cup, Ronaldo would go on to
represent Portugal in four qualifying games for Euro 2008, scoring
two goals in the process.[387][388]

2007–2012: assuming the

captaincy

Ronaldo, pictured playing

against Germany at Euro
2012, was made captain
for Portugal in 2008.

One day after turning 22, Ronaldo captained Portugal for the first
time in a friendly game against Brazil on 6 February 2007,[389] as
requested by Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) president Carlos
Silva, who had died two days earlier.[389] Ahead of Euro 2008, he
was given the number 7 shirt for the first time.[390] While he scored
eight goals in qualifications,[391] the second-highest tally, he scored
:
 just one goal in the tournament, netting the second goal of their 3–1
win in the group stage match against the Czech Republic. In the
same game, he also set-up Portugal's third goal in injury time, which
was scored by Quaresma, and was named man of the match for his
performance.[392][393] Portugal were eliminated in the quarter-finals
with a 3–2 loss against eventual finalists Germany.[394]

After Portugal's unsuccessful performance at Euro 2008, Luiz Felipe

Scolari was replaced as coach by Carlos Queiroz, formerly the
assistant manager at United.[395] Queiroz made Ronaldo the
squad's permanent captain in July 2008.[396] Ronaldo failed to
score a single goal in the qualification for the 2010 World Cup,[376]
as Portugal narrowly avoided a premature elimination from the
tournament with a play-off victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
[397]
In the group stage of the World Cup, he was named man of the
match in all three matches, against Ivory Coast, North Korea and
Brazil.[398][399][400] His only goal of the tournament came in their 7–
0 rout of North Korea, which marked his first international goal in 16
months.[401] Portugal's World Cup ended with a 1–0 loss against
eventual champions Spain in the round of 16.[402]

Ronaldo scored seven goals in qualifications for Euro 2012, including

two strikes against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the play-offs, to send
Portugal into the tournament, where they were drawn in a "group of
death".[403] In the last group stage game against the Netherlands,
Ronaldo scored twice to secure a 2–1 win.[404] He scored a header
in the quarter-final against the Czech Republic to give his team a 1–
0 win.[405] In both games against the Netherlands and the Czech
Republic he was named man of the match.[406][407] After the semi-
finals against Spain ended scoreless, Portugal were eliminated in the
penalty shoot-out.[408] Ronaldo did not take a penalty as he had
been slated to take the unused fifth slot.[409] Ronaldo's own
teammate, Nani, said that Ronaldo "demanded" to take the last
penalty.[410] As the joint top scorer with three goals, alongside five
:
 other players, he was again included in the team of the tournament.

2012–2016: all-time
Portugal top scorer and
European champion

Ronaldo evading Luka Modrić during a

friendly match against Croatia in 2013

During the qualification for the 2014 World Cup, Ronaldo scored a
total of eight goals. A qualifying match on 17 October 2012, a 1–1
draw against Northern Ireland, earned him his 100th cap.[411] His
first international hat-trick also came against Northern Ireland, when
he scored three times in a 15-minute spell of a 4–2 qualifying win on
6 September 2013.[412] After Portugal failed to qualify during the
regular campaign, Ronaldo scored all four of the team's goals in the
play-offs against Sweden, billed as a battle between Ronaldo and
Zlatan Ibrahimović, which ensured their place at the tournament.
[413]
His hat-trick in the second leg took his international tally to 47
:
 goals, equalling Pauleta's record.[414] Ronaldo subsequently scored
twice in a 5–1 friendly win over Cameroon on 5 March 2014 to
become his country's all-time top scorer.[415]

Ronaldo took part in the tournament despite suffering from patellar

tendinitis and a related thigh injury,[416] potentially risking his
career.[417] Ronaldo later commented: "If we had two or three
Cristiano Ronaldos in the team I would feel more comfortable. But
we don't."[418] Despite ongoing doubts over his fitness, being forced
to abort practice twice,[419] Ronaldo played the full 90 minutes of
the opening match against Germany, although he was unable to
prevent a 4–0 defeat.[420] After assisting an injury-time 2–2
equaliser against the United States,[421] he scored a late match-
winning goal in a 2–1 win over Ghana.[422] His 50th international
goal made him the first Portuguese to play and score in three World
Cups.[423] Portugal were eliminated from the tournament at the
close of the group stage on goal difference.[422]

Ronaldo leaps in the air

in Portugal's Euro 2016
quarter-final match
against Poland.

Ronaldo scored five goals, including a hat-trick against Armenia, in

the qualification for Euro 2016.[424] With the only goal in another win
:
 over Armenia on 14 November 2014, he reached 23 goals in the
UEFA European Championship, including qualifying matches, to
become the competition's all-time leading goalscorer.[425] At the
start of the tournament, Ronaldo failed to convert his chances in
Portugal's draws against Iceland and Austria, despite taking 20
shots on goal. In the latter match, he overtook Figo as Portugal's
most capped player with his 128th international appearance, which
ended scoreless after he missed a penalty in the second half.[426]
With two goals in the last match of the group stage, a 3–3 draw
against Hungary, Ronaldo became the first player to score in four
European Championships, having made a record 17 appearances in
the tournament.[427][428] Although placed third in their group behind
Hungary and Iceland, his team qualified for the knockout round as a
result of the competition's newly expanded format,[429] despite not
winning any of their games.[376]

In Portugal's first knockout match, Ronaldo's only attempt on goal

was parried by Croatia's goalkeeper Danijel Subašić into the path of
Ricardo Quaresma, whose finish then secured a 1–0 win late in extra
time.[376] After his team progressed past Poland on penalties, with
Ronaldo scoring Portugal's opening penalty,[376] he became the first
player to participate in three European Championship semi-finals;
[430]
he scored the opener in a 2–0 win against Wales, equalling
Michel Platini as the competition's all-time top scorer with nine
goals.[431] In the final against hosts France, Ronaldo was forced off
after just 25 minutes following a challenge from Dimitri Payet,
despite multiple treatments and attempts to play on,[376] he was
stretchered off the pitch and replaced by Quaresma. During extra
time, substitute Eder scored in the 109th minute to earn Portugal a
1–0 victory.[432] As team captain, Ronaldo lifted the trophy in
celebration of his country's first triumph in a major tournament. He
was awarded the Silver Boot as the joint second-highest goalscorer,
with three goals and three assists, and was named to the team of
the tournament for the third time in his career.[433][434]
:
 2016–2018: post-
European Championship
victory and World Cup
Following the Euro 2016 success, Ronaldo played his first
professional match on his home island of Madeira on 28 March 2017
at age 32, opening a 2–3 friendly defeat to Sweden at the Estádio
dos Barreiros. With the goal, he tied with Miroslav Klose on 71 goals
as the third-highest scoring European in international football.[435]

In Portugal's opening match of the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup

against Mexico on 17 June, Ronaldo set up Quaresma's opening goal
in a 2–2 draw.[436] Three days later, he scored in a 1–0 win over
hosts Russia.[437] On 24 June, he scored from a penalty in a 4–0 win
over New Zealand, which saw Portugal top their group and advance
to the semi-finals of the competition; with his 75th international
goal, Ronaldo also equalled Sándor Kocsis as the second-highest
European international goalscorer of all time, behind only Ferenc
Puskás.[438][439] He was named man of the match in all three of
Portugal's group stage matches.[440] Ronaldo left the competition
early; after Chile defeated Portugal 3–0 on penalties in the semi-
finals, he was allowed to return home to be with his newborn
children,[441] and missed Portugal's third-place play-off match in
which Portugal defeated Mexico 2–1 after extra time.[442]
:
 Ronaldo evades an Iran defender
in the group stage of the 2018
World Cup.

On 31 August 2017, Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in a 5–1 win in a 2018

World Cup qualifying match over the Faroe Islands, which saw him
overtake Pelé and equal Hussein Saeed as the joint-fifth-highest
goalscorer in international football with 78 goals.[443] These goals
brought his tally in the World Cup qualifiers to 14, equalling Predrag
Mijatović's record for most goals in a single UEFA qualifying
campaign, and also saw him break the record for the most goals
scored in a European qualifying group, overtaking the previous
record of 13 goals set by David Healy and Robert Lewandowski.
Ronaldo's hat-trick took his World Cup qualifying goals total to 29,
making him the highest scorer in UEFA qualifiers, ahead of Andriy
Shevchenko, and the highest goalscorer in World Cup qualifying and
finals matches combined with 32 goals, ahead of Miroslav Klose.
[444]
Ronaldo later added to this tally by scoring a goal against
Andorra in a 2–0 win.[445]

On 15 June 2018, Ronaldo became the oldest player to score a hat-

trick in a FIFA World Cup match, helping Portugal secure a 3–3 draw
against Spain (his third goal a 30-yard curling free kick with two
minutes remaining) in their opening match. In doing so, he became
the first Portuguese player to score a goal in four World Cups and
one of four players of any nationality to do so.[446] On 20 June,
:
 Ronaldo scored the only goal in a 1–0 win against Morocco, breaking
Puskás' record as the highest European goalscorer of all time, with
85 international goals.[447] In the final group match against Iran on
25 June, Ronaldo missed a penalty in an eventual 1–1 draw which
saw Portugal progress to the second round as group runners-up
behind Spain.[448] On 30 June, Portugal were eliminated following a
2–1 defeat to Uruguay in the last 16.[449] For his performances in the
tournament, Ronaldo was named in the World Cup Dream Team.[450]

2018–2020: Nations
League title and 100
international goals
After the World Cup, Ronaldo missed six international matches,
including the entire league phase of the 2018–19 UEFA Nations
League, but played for hosts Portugal in the inaugural Nations
League Finals in June 2019. In the semi-finals on 5 June, he scored a
hat-trick against Switzerland to reach the final. Upon scoring the
opening goal, he became the first player to score in 10 consecutive
international competitions, breaking the record he previously shared
with Ghana's Asamoah Gyan.[451] In the final of the tournament four
days later, Portugal defeated the Netherlands 1–0.[452]

On 10 September 2019, Ronaldo scored four goals in a 5–1 away win

over Lithuania in a Euro 2020 qualifying match;[453] in the process,
he overtook Robbie Keane (23 goals) as the player with most goals
in the UEFA European Championship qualifying, setting a new
record with 25 goals.[454] He also set a new record for scoring
:
 against the most national teams, 40,[455] while also completing his
eighth international hat-trick.[456] On 14 October, he scored his
700th senior career goal for club and country from the penalty spot,
in his 974th senior career appearance, a 2–1 away loss to Ukraine in
a Euro 2020 qualifier.[457] On 17 November, Ronaldo scored his 99th
international goal in a 2–0 win over Luxembourg, leading Portugal to
qualify for Euro 2020.[458] On 8 September 2020, Ronaldo scored
his 100th and 101st international goals in a 2–0 away win over
Sweden in a 2020–21 UEFA Nations League match, becoming only
the second male player ever to achieve this milestone (after Ali Daei
of Iran) and the first in Europe.[459][460] On 13 October, the FPF
announced that Ronaldo tested positive for COVID-19 while being
asymptomatic.[461] By 30 October, Ronaldo had recovered.[462]

international appearances
and top goalscorer

the international goalscoring
record (surpassing the 109 goals
of Iran's Ali Daei) in September
2021, among other records in
the course of the same year

On 15 June 2021, Ronaldo scored twice in Portugal's first game of

Euro 2020, a 3–0 win against Hungary in Budapest.[463] This took
him to a total of 11 European Championship goals, two clear of
Michel Platini, as the all-time top goalscorer in the competition's
history.[464] He also became the first player to score at five Euros,
[465]
and in eleven consecutive tournaments. The brace made
Ronaldo the oldest player to score two goals in a match in the
competition,[466] and the oldest player to score for Portugal at a
major tournament.[467] On 23 June, he scored two penalties in
Portugal's 2–2 draw with France in their final group stage match,
equalling Daei's record of 109 international goals.[468] On 27 June,
Portugal were eliminated following a 1–0 loss against Belgium in the
round of 16.[469] Ronaldo finished the tournament with five goals
(tied with Czech Patrik Schick) and one assist, earning him the
Golden Boot.[470]

On 1 September, Ronaldo scored two headed goals, with his second

coming seconds before the full-time whistle, in a 2–1 home win
against the Republic of Ireland in a World Cup qualifier at the Estádio
Algarve, which saw him pass Ali Daei to become the sole record
:
 holder by breaking the men's international scoring record with his
110th and 111th international goals.[471] On 9 October, he scored the
opening goal in a 3–0 friendly win over Qatar at the Estádio Algarve;
with his 181st international appearance, he also overtook Sergio
Ramos's record for the most international caps received by a
European player.[472][473] In the following match against
Luxembourg on 12 October, also played at the Estádio Algarve,
Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in a 5–0 win for Portugal, and became
the first player to score 10 hat-tricks in men's international football.
[474]

Ronaldo during a group

stage game against
Uruguay at the 2022
World Cup

Ronaldo was named in Portugal's squad for the 2022 FIFA World
Cup in Qatar, making it his fifth World Cup. On 24 November, in
Portugal's opening match against Ghana, Ronaldo scored a penalty
kick and became the first male player to score in five different World
Cups.[475] In the last group game against South Korea, Ronaldo
received criticism from his own coach for his reaction at being
substituted.[476] He was dropped from the starting line-up for
Portugal's last 16 match against Switzerland, marking the first time
:
 since Euro 2008 that he had not started a game for Portugal in a
major international tournament,[477] and the first time Portugal had
started a knockout game without Ronaldo in the starting line-up at
an international tournament since Euro 2000.[478] He came off the
bench late on as Portugal won 6–1, their highest tally in a World Cup
knockout game since the 1966 World Cup, with Ronaldo's
replacement Gonçalo Ramos scoring a hat-trick.[479] Portugal
employed the same strategy in the quarter-finals against Morocco,
with Ronaldo once again coming off the bench; in the process, he
equalled Bader Al-Mutawa's international appearance record,
becoming the joint–most capped male footballer of all time, with 196
caps. Portugal lost 1–0, with Morocco becoming the first CAF nation
ever to reach the World Cup semi-finals.[480][481]

Following the World Cup, despite having his future with the national
team in doubt, after rumours of a possible omission by new manager
Roberto Martínez, Ronaldo was named in Portugal's squad for the
UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers against Liechtenstein and Luxembourg.
[482]
On 23 March, Ronaldo scored a brace in a 4–0 win over
Liechtenstein; with his 197th international appearance, he overtook
Al-Mutawa's record and became the most capped male footballer of
all time.[483] On 20 June, Ronaldo made his 200th appearance for
his national team, scoring the only goal of an away win over Iceland,
in the Euro qualifiers, as he became the first player in the history of
men's international football to make 200 appearances for his
country.[484] On 13 October, Ronaldo scored a brace in a 3–2 win
over Slovakia, leading Portugal to qualify for Euro 2024, marking the
nation's fastest qualification to a major tournament in their history.
[485]
On 16 October, Portugal secured first place in their group,
following a 5–0 away victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina, with
Ronaldo scoring twice.[486] The landmark goals saw him score in
more than 100 goals in each of the last three decades (2000s,
2010s, 2020s).[487][488]

 Player profile

Style of play
A versatile attacker, Ronaldo is capable of playing on either wing as
well as through the centre of the pitch,[489] and, while ostensibly
right-footed, is very strong with both feet.[490] Tactically, Ronaldo
has undergone several evolutions throughout his career. While at
Sporting and during his first season at Manchester United, he was
typically deployed as a traditional winger on the right side of
midfield, where he regularly looked to deliver crosses into the
penalty area. In this position, he was able to use his pace and
acceleration, agility and technical skills to take on opponents in one-
on-one situations. Ronaldo became noted for his dribbling and flair,
often displaying an array of tricks and feints,[491][492] such as the
step overs and so-called 'chops' that became his trademark;[493] he
has also been known to use the flip-flap.[494]
:
 Ronaldo controlling the ball on his
chest during a 2010–11 La Liga game
against Almería. At his peak, he was
known for his exceptional speed and
athleticism.[495]

His strength and jumping ability, combined with his elevation,

heading accuracy and height of 1.87 m (6 ft 11⁄2 in), give him an edge
in winning aerial duels. These attributes allow him to function as a
target-man and make him an aerial goal threat in the penalty area;
consequently, many of his goals have been headers.[496][497][498]
Allied with his increased stamina and work-rate, his goalscoring
ability improved drastically on the left wing where he was given the
positional freedom to move into the centre to finish attacks. He has
also increasingly played a creative role for his team, often dropping
deep to pick up the ball, participate in the build-up of plays and
create chances for his teammates, courtesy of his vision and
passing ability.[491][496]

In his final seasons at United, Ronaldo played an even more

attacking and central role, functioning both as a striker and as a
supporting forward, or even as an attacking midfielder on occasion.
[496]
He developed into a prolific goalscorer, capable of finishing
well both inside the penalty area and from distance with an accurate
and powerful shot, courtesy of his striking ability.[496] An accurate
penalty kick taker,[499] he also became a set piece specialist,
renowned for his powerful, bending free kicks.[500] When taking free
kicks, Ronaldo is known for using the knuckleball technique, which
:
 was developed by Juninho Pernambucano.[501] He also adopts a
trademark stance before striking the ball, which involves him
standing with his legs far apart.[502] Regarding Ronaldo's unique
style of taking free kicks, former United assistant manager Mike
Phelan commented: "People used to put the ball down, walk away,
run up and hit it. He brought in a more dynamic showmanship. He
places the ball down, the concentration level is high, he takes his
certain amount of steps back so that his standing foot is in the
perfect place to hit the ball in the sweet spot. He is the ultimate
showman. He has that slight arrogance. When he pulls those shorts
up and shows his thighs, he is saying 'All eyes on me' and this is
going in. He understands the marketing side of it. The way he struts
up and places it; the world is watching him."[503]

As Ronaldo entered his thirties he

began to dribble less.[504]

At Real Madrid, Ronaldo continued to play a more offensive role,

while his creative and defensive duties became more limited,
although not entirely diminished.[505] Initially deployed as a centre
forward by managers Manuel Pellegrini and José Mourinho, he was
later moved back onto the left wing, though in a free tactical role;
this position allowed him to drift into the centre at will to get onto
the end of crosses and score, or draw out defenders with his
movement off the ball and leave space for teammates to exploit.[505]
[506][507]
Madrid's counter-attacking style of play also allowed him
to become a more efficient and consistent player, as evidenced by
:
 his record-breaking goalscoring feats. While he mainly drew praise
in the media for his prolific goalscoring, Ronaldo also demonstrated
his ability as an effective creator in this role.[508][509][510] This
unique role has been described by pundits as that of a "false",
"attacking", or "goalscoring winger", as Ronaldo effectively almost
functioned as a striker at times with his central runs into the penalty
area, despite actually playing on the left flank.[506][511] From 2013
onwards, under manager Carlo Ancelotti, he effectively adapted his
style to the physical effects of ageing with increasingly reduced off-
the-ball movement and general involvement, completing fewer
dribbles and passes per game, and instead focusing on short-
distance creating and goalscoring.[505][512][513] Since 2017, Ronaldo
adapted his style of play yet again to become more of a free-
roaming centre forward under manager Zinedine Zidane, a role in
which he continued to excel and maintain a prolific goalscoring
record; in this position, he earned praise in the media for his
intelligent movement both on and off the ball, positional sense, link-
up play and finishing, as well as his ability to lose or anticipate his
markers, find space in the box and score from few touches or
opportunities.[514][515][516]

In his first season at Juventus, Ronaldo continued to play in a variety

of different attacking roles under manager Massimiliano Allegri,
depending on whom he was partnered with. While he had occupied
an increasingly offensive role in his final years at Real Madrid, at
times he functioned in a free role at Juventus, either as a lone striker
or in his trademark role on the left wing, in a 4–2–3–1 or 4–3–3
formation, in which he often switched positions with Mario
Mandžukić. In this role, he was also given licence to drop deep or
even out wide onto the right flank to receive the ball, and be more
involved in the build-up of plays; as such, aside from scoring goals
himself, he began to take on opponents and create chances for
other players with greater frequency than he had in his final seasons
with Real Madrid. Off the ball, he was also capable of creating space
:
 for teammates with his movement and attacking runs into the box,
or finishing off chances with his head or feet by getting onto the end
of his teammates' crosses.[517][518] On occasion he also played in an
attacking partnership alongside Mandžukić in a 4–3–1–2, 4–4–2, or
3–5–2 formation.[519][520][521] He continued to play a similar role in
his second season with the club under manager Maurizio Sarri.[518]

Ronaldo is noted for his work ethic, elite body conditioning and
dedication to improvement on the training pitch, as well being
regarded as a natural leader.[528][529] On his longevity and
"extraordinary commitment to physical preparation", Adam Bate of
Sky Sports said: "Dedication is a huge part of staying at the top and
Ronaldo's focus is perhaps unparalleled within the game."[504] While
stating they were stylistically different players who shared an equal
desire to score goals, former Brazil international Ronaldo praised
Cristiano's approach to training, arguing that "there are so few
players who take care of their body like he does. I trained because I
had to, he does it because he loves it."[530] His drive and
determination to succeed are fuelled by a desire to be talked about
alongside other greats such as Pelé and Diego Maradona once
retiring.[531] He is credited, along with his compatriot, coach José
Mourinho, with inspiring changing fortunes of Portuguese football in
2010s and 2020s.[532] At times, he has been criticised for
simulating when tackled.[533] He was also occasionally criticised
early in his career by manager Alex Ferguson, teammates and the
media for being a selfish or overly flamboyant player.[534] Jonathan
Wilson of The Guardian opined that Ronaldo had made Juventus,
who he joined aged 33 in 2018, weaker, due to "his relative
immobility" in his mid-30s, even if his personal goal-scoring output
:
 remained high.[535]

During his career, Ronaldo has also been described as having an

"arrogant image" on the pitch,[536] with Ronaldo stating that he had
become a "victim" because of how he was portrayed in the media.
[537]
He is often seen moaning, gesticulating and scowling while
trying to inspire his team to victory,[536] with Ronaldo insisting that
his competitive nature should not be mistaken for arrogance.[537]
His managers, teammates and various journalists have said that this
reputation has caused an unfair image of him.[538][539][540]

Goal celebrations
Ronaldo has adopted several goal celebrations throughout his
career, including one particular celebration which gained
widespread coverage in the media, when he squatted and stared
directly into a camera on the sidelines of the pitch with his hand on
his chin.[541][542][543] After scoring a goal, he usually celebrates
with a "storming jump" and "turn", before "landing in spread-eagled
fashion"[542] into his "signature power stance",[543] while usually
simultaneously exclaiming "Sí" (Spanish and Italian for "yes").[541]
[544]
This trademark celebration has been dubbed the "Siu" in the
media.[541][542][545]

Rivalry with Lionel Messi

:
 Ronaldo with Lionel
Messi before an
international friendly
between Portugal and
Argentina in 2011

Both Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have scored in multiple UEFA

Champions League finals and have regularly broken the 50-goal
barrier in a single season. Sports journalists and pundits regularly
weigh the individual merits of both players in an attempt to argue
who they believe is the best player in modern football or in the
history of the game.[546] It has been compared to several sports
rivalries, among them the Muhammad Ali–Joe Frazier rivalry in
boxing, the Borg–McEnroe rivalry in tennis and the Senna–Prost
rivalry from Formula One motor racing.[547][548] Some
commentators choose to analyse the differing physiques and
playing styles of the two.[549] Part of the debate revolves around the
contrasting personalities of the two players, as Ronaldo is
sometimes depicted as an arrogant and theatrical showoff, while
Messi is portrayed as a shy, humble character.[550][551][552]

In a 2012 interview, Ronaldo commented on

"It's part of the rivalry, saying: "I think we push each
my life now. other sometimes in the competition, this is

among the world's most viewed annual
sporting events.[557]

In a debate at Oxford Union in October 2013, when asked whether

FIFA president Sepp Blatter preferred Messi or Ronaldo, Blatter paid
tribute to the work ethic of the Argentine before taking a swipe at
Ronaldo, claiming "one of them has more expenses for the
hairdresser than the other." Real Madrid demanded and promptly
received a full apology. In response to Blatter's "commander" on the
pitch comment, Ronaldo issued his own riposte with a mock-salute
celebration after scoring a penalty against Sevilla.[558] In August
2019, Ronaldo and Messi were interviewed while sat next to each
other prior to the announcement of the UEFA Men's Player of the
:
 Year, with Ronaldo stating: "I pushed him and he pushed me as well.
So it's good to be part of the history of football."[559]

In September 2023, Ronaldo declared that his rivalry with Messi was
over and "gone", after 36 official fixtures and 15 years of "sharing
the stage".[560] After Messi led Argentina to victory in the 2022 FIFA
World Cup, a number of football critics, commentators and players
have opined that Messi has settled the debate between the two
players.[561][562][563]

The Cristiano Ronaldo Museum,

Museu CR7, in Funchal, Madeira.
It was opened on 15 December
2013.

Since his reputation grew at Manchester United, Ronaldo has signed

many sponsorship deals for consumer products, including
sportswear, football boots; since November 2012, Ronaldo has worn
the Nike Mercurial Vapor personalised CR7 edition,[564] soft drinks,
clothing, automotive lubricants, financial services, electronics, and
video games.[565][566][567][568] Ronaldo featured as the cover star of
FIFA video game FIFA 18 and was heavily involved in the game's
promotion.[569] His "Sii" goal celebration features in the FIFA series,
accompanied with his own voiceover.[541] He was also the face of

With earnings of €720 million (£615 million) from 2010 to 2019,

Ronaldo was ranked second in Forbes list of the decade's highest-
paid athletes, behind boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr..[571] Forbes twice
ranked Ronaldo first on its list of the world's highest-paid football
players; his combined income from salaries, bonuses and
endorsements was $73 million in 2013–14 and $79 million in 2014–
15.[572][573] The latter earnings saw him listed behind only
Mayweather on the magazine's list of The World's Highest-Paid
Athletes.[574] In 2016, he became the first footballer to top the
Forbes list of highest-earning athletes, with a total income of
$88 million from his salary and endorsements in 2015–16.[575] He
topped the list for the second straight year with earnings of
$93 million in 2016–17.[576] He is the first footballer and only the
third sportsman to earn $1 billion in their career.[577] Ronaldo is one
of the world's most marketable sportsmen: SportsPro rated him the
fifth most marketable athlete in 2012[578] and eighth most
marketable athlete in 2013.[578][579] Sports market research
company Repucom named Ronaldo the most marketable and most
recognised football player in the world in May 2014.[580] He was
additionally named in the 2014 Time 100, Time's annual list of the
most influential people in the world.[581] ESPN named Ronaldo the
world's most famous athlete in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.[582][583]
[584][585]

Ronaldo has established a strong online presence. The most popular

sportsperson on social media, he counted over 500 million total
followers across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram by February 2021,
making him the first person to pass half a billion followers.[587] The
most-followed person on Facebook (168 million), most-followed on
Instagram (615 million) and most-followed sportsperson on Twitter
(109 million), his sponsors earned $936 million in media value
across his accounts between June 2016 and June 2017.[576] In
December 2011, he launched an iPhone game called Heads Up with
Cristiano, created by developer RockLive,[588] and in December
2013, he launched Viva Ronaldo, a dedicated social networking
website and app.[589] Computer security company McAfee
produced a 2012 report ranking footballers by the probability of an
internet search for their name leading to an unsafe website, with
Ronaldo's name first on the list.[590]

Ronaldo's autobiography, titled Moments, was published in 2007.

Demand for a replica Ronaldo shirt has been high throughout his
career. In 2008, Ronaldo's number 7 Manchester United shirt was
the best-selling Premier League sports product.[595] In 2015,
Ronaldo's number 7 Real Madrid shirt was the second best-selling
worldwide, after Messi's number 10 Barcelona shirt.[596] In 2018,
within 24 hours of his number 7 Juventus shirt being released, over
520,000 had been sold, with $62.4 million generated in one day.[597]

Ronaldo opened a fashion boutique under the name CR7 (his initials
and shirt number) on the island of Madeira in 2006 and opened a
second in Lisbon in 2008.[598] In partnership with Scandinavian
manufacturer JBS Textile Group and the New York fashion designer
Richard Chai, Ronaldo co-designed a range of underwear and sock
line, released in November 2013.[599] He expanded his CR7 fashion
brand by launching a line of premium shirts and shoes in July 2014.

hometown of Funchal, Madeira, to house trophies and memorabilia;
[604]
the museum is an official sponsor of the local football team
União da Madeira.[605][606] At a ceremony held at the Belém Palace
in January 2014, President of Portugal Aníbal Cavaco Silva raised
Ronaldo to the rank of Grand Officer of the Order of Prince Henry "to
distinguish an athlete of world renown who has been a symbol of
Portugal globally, contributing to the international projection of the
country and setting an example of tenacity for future generations."

In June 2010, during the build-up to the World Cup, Ronaldo became
the fourth footballer (after Steven Gerrard, Pelé, and David
Beckham) to be represented as a waxwork at Madame Tussauds
London.[609] Another waxwork of him was presented at the Madrid
Wax Museum in December 2013.[610] In June 2015, astronomers led
by David Sobral from Lisbon and Leiden discovered a galaxy which
they named Cosmos Redshift 7 (CR7) in tribute to Ronaldo.[611]

On 23 July 2016, following Portugal's triumph at Euro 2016, Madeira

Airport in Funchal was renamed as Cristiano Ronaldo International
Airport.[612] The unveiling of the rebranded terminal took place on
29 March 2017, which included a bust of his head being presented.
[613]
The bust and the name change were controversial, with the lack
of the bust's likeness to Ronaldo being ridiculed by comedians,
including Saturday Night Live,[614] while the name change was
subject to much debate locally by some politicians and citizens, who
even started a petition against the move, an action criticised by
President of Madeira Miguel Albuquerque.[615][613] A year later,
sports website Bleacher Report commissioned sculptor Emanuel
Santos to create another bust;[616] however, this bust was never
used and a new one was made by a Spanish sculptor, shown to the
public on 15 June 2018.[617]

Philanthropy

Ronaldo has made contributions to various charitable causes

throughout his career. Television footage of the 2004 Indian Ocean
earthquake and tsunami showed an eight-year-old boy survivor
named Martunis wearing a Portuguese football shirt who was
stranded for 19 days after his family was killed. Following this,
Ronaldo visited Aceh, Indonesia, to raise funds for rehabilitation and
reconstruction.[620][621] After accepting undisclosed damages from
a libel case against The Sun newspaper in 2008, Ronaldo donated
the damages to a charity in Madeira.[622] In 2009, Ronaldo donated
£100,000 to the hospital that saved his mother's life in Madeira
following her battle with cancer, so that they could build a cancer
centre on the island.[623] In support of the victims of the 2010
:
 Madeira flood, Ronaldo pledged to play in a charity match in Madeira
between Primeira Liga club Porto and players from Madeiran-based
clubs Marítimo and Nacional.[624]

In 2012, Ronaldo and his agent paid for specialist treatment for a
nine-year-old Canarian boy with apparently terminal cancer.[625] In
December 2012, Ronaldo joined FIFA's "11 for Health" programme to
raise awareness amongst kids of how to steer clear of conditions
including drug addiction, HIV, malaria, and obesity.[626] In January
2013, Ronaldo became Save the Children's new Global Artist
Ambassador, in which he hopes to help fight child hunger and
obesity.[627] In March 2013, Ronaldo agreed to be the ambassador
for The Mangrove Care Forum in Indonesia, an organisation aiming
to raise awareness of mangrove conservation.[628]

Ronaldo was named the world's most charitable sportsperson in

2015 after donating £5 million to the relief effort after the
earthquake in Nepal which killed over 8,000 people.[629] In June
2016, Ronaldo donated the entirety of his €600,000 Champions
League bonus after Real Madrid won the competition.[629] In August,
Ronaldo launched CR7Selfie, a selfie app for charity to help Save the
Children that lets participants take a selfie with him in one of several
different outfits and poses.[630]

Personal life
:
 Family, children, and
relationships
Ronaldo has five children. He first became a father to a son, who
was born on 17 June 2010 in the United States.[631] He has full
custody of the child and has not publicly revealed the identity of the
mother per an agreement with her.[632][633] In January 2015,
Ronaldo's five-year relationship with Russian model Irina Shayk
ended.[634]

Ronaldo became a father to twins,[635] born on 8 June 2017 in the

United States via surrogacy. He is currently in a relationship with
Argentine-born Spanish model Georgina Rodríguez,[636] who gave
birth to a daughter on 12 November 2017.[637] The couple expected
a pair of twins in 2022. The male twin died during childbirth while
the female twin survived.[638][639]

Ronaldo's father, José, died of an alcoholism-related liver condition

at age 52 in September 2005 when Ronaldo was 20.[640]

In January 2023, after Ronaldo moved to Saudi Arabia with his

family having been signed by Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr, the
rulers of the Muslim-leaning Kingdom made Ronaldo an exception to
the rule that unmarried couples are not allowed to live together in
Saudi Arabia. An unnamed Saudi lawyer told Spanish news agency
EFE that "the laws of the Kingdom still prohibit cohabitation without
a marriage contract", but Saudi authorities have begun to "turn a
blind eye and stop prosecuting anyone, even though these laws are
applied when there is a problem or a crime".[641]

Ronaldo is of Cape Verdean descent through his great-grandmother.

:
 [642]
He is a Roman Catholic.[643]

Health
Ronaldo has said that he does not drink alcohol,[622] and he received
libel damages over a Daily Mirror article that reported him drinking
heavily in a nightclub while recovering from an injury in July 2008.
[644]
He also does not have any tattoos as he regularly donates
blood and bone marrow.[645]

Legal issues
In July 2017, Ronaldo was charged with fraudulently evading almost
€15 million in tax between 2011 and 2014, a claim he denied at the
time.[646] In June 2018, Ronaldo was given a two-year suspended
jail sentence and fined €18.8 million, later reduced to €16.8 million
after reaching a deal with Spanish authorities. The sentence can be
served under probation, without any jail time, so long as he does not
re-offend.[647]

Ronaldo and another man were investigated by the British Crown

Prosecution Service after a 2005 rape allegation was brought
forward by two women. Within days, the two women withdrew their
allegation and Scotland Yard later issued a statement declaring
there was not enough evidence for a prosecution.[648]
:
 In April 2017, it was reported that Ronaldo was being investigated by
the Las Vegas Police Department for an allegation by a woman that
he had raped her in 2009.[649][650] Documents, confirmed by
Ronaldo's lawyers, state that Ronaldo paid a woman US$375,000 in
a non-disclosure settlement.[649][651] Ronaldo and his lawyers
issued a lengthy statement denying all accusations, describing them
as an "intentional defamation campaign" with parts significantly
"altered and/or completely fabricated",[652][653] a claim which Der
Spiegel categorically denied.[654] In July 2019, Las Vegas
prosecutors said they would not charge Ronaldo over allegations of
rape; the statement added: "Based upon a review of information at
this time, the allegations of sexual assault against Cristiano Ronaldo
cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt."[655] The same
woman, in September 2018, filed a civil lawsuit in Nevada accusing
Ronaldo of rape.[656] The Daily Mirror, citing court documents,
reported in 2021 that the woman sought £56 million in damages
from Ronaldo.[657] In October 2021, federal magistrate judge Daniel
Albregts recommended that the lawsuit be dismissed, citing that the
woman's lawyer, Leslie Stovall, "acted in bad faith by asking for,
receiving, and using Football Leaks documents to prosecute" the
case, despite the documents containing "privileged
communications" between Ronaldo and his lawyers. Additionally,
Albregts stated that no evidence was found of Ronaldo's lawyers
having "intimidated [the woman] or impeded law enforcement"
during the 2010 settlement with her.[658] In June 2022, the woman's
rape lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice in the United States
District Court for the District of Nevada, as district judge Jennifer A.
Dorsey ruled that Stovall's repeated use of "cyber-hacked attorney–
client privileged documents" were actions representing "abuses
and flagrant circumvention of the proper litigation process".[656]

Notes

1. Varies between 1.85 and 1.89

by source. FIFA and Sports
Illustrated give 1.85,[2][3] Luca
Caioli 1.86,[4] Soccerway and
Eurosport 1.87,[5] Premier
League 1.87,[6] and the
Portuguese Football Federation
:
 1.89.[7]
2. Although there was no third-
place playoff, both losing semi-
finalists (Germany and
Portugal) were awarded bronze
medals by UEFA.[8]
3. The terminology for the award
has varied. Ronaldo received
three Ballons d'Or as awarded
by France Football magazine
(2008, 2016, 2017) and two
FIFA Ballons d'Or (2013, 2014)
as well as the 2008 FIFA World
Player of the Year and 2016
and 2017 Best FIFA Men's
:
 Player awards.
4. Real Madrid had previously
recognised Ronaldo as their all-
time top scorer after he scored
a brace against Malmö FF on
30 September 2015. The club's
official record book attributes
to Ronaldo a 74th-minute goal
in a 2–1 win over Real Sociedad
on 18 September 2010, despite
his free-kick having been
deflected by Pepe.[209]
