Career

In 1995, Ronaldo joined Madeira National Football Club and in 1996 he moved to the youth system of Sporting Football Club.

In 2001, Cristiano Ronaldo played at Sporting de Portugal at five different levels: U16, U17, U18, second and first team.

In 2003, Ronaldo moved to Manchester United for £12.24 million and helped the team win 10 trophies, including the 2007-08 UEFA Champions League. During his time at Manchester United, he won the 2006/07 Premier League Player of the Season.

2008 Ballon d'Or, International Federation of Professional Footballers Player of the Year, Premier League Player of the Year, Premier League Golden Boot and other awards.

In 2009, Ronaldo moved to Real Madrid for £80 million, and over the course of nine years, he helped the team win 16 trophies, including four UEFA Champions League titles in 2013-14, 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18.

During his time at Real Madrid, he won the Ballon d'Or in 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017. In 2018, Ronaldo transferred to Juventus Football Club in Serie A for 100 million euros, and won the Italian Serie A championship in the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons.

In 2021, Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United.

In 2003, Ronaldo represented the Portuguese national youth team in the "Toulon Cup" and won the championship; On August 20 of the same year, Cristiano Ronaldo made his debut for the national team in a friendly match between Portugal and Kazakhstan.

In 2016, Cristiano Ronaldo won the European Football Championship for the first time with the Portuguese national team. In June 2019, Cristiano Ronaldo won the first UEFA Nations League with the Portuguese national team.

So far, Ronaldo has scored 767 goals and won a total of 33 trophies for four clubs and the Portuguese national team, becoming a recognized legend in world football. So the question is, what level is Ronaldo at in the history of football?

1. 766 goals.

Sporting scored 5 goals in 31 games, Manchester United scored 118 goals in 292 games, Real Madrid scored 450 goals in 438 games, Juventus scored 91 goals in 118 games, and the Portuguese national team scored 102 goals in 170 games, totaling 766 goals in 1049 games. In other words, every goal scored by Ronaldo in the future will be a new record.

In terms of goals, Pele's record has long been broken by Ronaldo, and Ronaldo's goals are completely incomparable to Ronaldo, and the only one who can surpass Ronaldo in the future is Messi. So far, Messi has scored 728 goals in official matches, 38 fewer than Cristiano Ronaldo. Considering that Messi is two years younger than Ronaldo, under normal circumstances, Messi should retire later than Ronaldo, and the Argentine legend has great hopes of surpassing Ronaldo in terms of goals.

2. 33 championships.

With 5 Champions Leagues + 7 major leagues + 1 European Cup + 1 UEFA Nations League title, and 19 other club cup titles, Ronaldo currently holds 33 trophies. Compared with Messi's 34 championship trophies, although Ronaldo has one less number, his gold content is better than Messi's. This is mainly because Ronaldo has one more Champions League than Messi and Messi has 0 national team titles.

However, in terms of the gold content of the championship trophy, Ronaldo does not have an advantage in football history, Pele and Ronaldo have three World Cup titles, Maradona also has the Hercules Cup, and Ronaldo's strongest World Cup record is only fourth. The World Cup championship has also become the biggest weakness of Ronaldo's career, and in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, does Ronaldo have any hope of winning the Hercules Cup?

3. 5 Golden Globe Awards.

With Ronaldo's current state and age, coupled with the excellent performance of Lewandowski and others, it is extremely difficult for Ronaldo to win the Ballon d'Or again. This also means that the number of Ballon d'Or awards in Ronaldo's career will most likely stay at 5, and he will not be able to tie the world record of 6 Ballon d'Or held by Messi. In this regard, Ronaldo can only be regarded as "under one person, above ten thousand".

766 goals + 33 championships + 5 Ballon d'Or, on the whole, Ronaldo's historical status in world football will never fall out of the top two. As for whether Ronaldo can become the first in history, one is to see the results of the 2022 World Cup, and the other is to see Messi's future development. If Ronaldo can lead Portugal to the top in the 2022 World Cup, he is undoubtedly the best in history!
