Cristiano Ronaldo’s Playing History

Ronaldo is one of the best players in history, so let’s go through how he got to where he is.

At 17 years old, he played his first official match for Sporting CP in August 2002 after being promoted from the youth teams to the main team. But, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson made it clear he wanted to sign Ronaldo, and in 2003, he did. Ronaldo remained with Manchester United until 2009, and In 2008, he earned the Ballon d’Or and FIFA World Player of the Year.

Across his first stint with Manchester United, he won three consecutive Premier League titles.

Ronaldo decided to move on to Real Madrid in 2009 where he added Ballon d’Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards. He also became the team’s all-time top scorer in 2015. During his time there, he achieved four Champions League titles, three FIFA Club World Cup titles, three UEFA Super Cup titles, two La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey titles, and two Spanish Super Cup titles. 

In 2018, Ronaldo joined Juventus where he stayed until 2021 before going back to Manchester United.

The star officially made his move to the Saudi club Al-Nassr in 2022.

As all of this was going on, Ronaldo also has had a very successful international career, representing Portugal. At the international level, he helped lead his country to a 2016 European Championship.

He has certainly left his mark on the sport, and is showing no signs of stopping.
