Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro was born on February 5, 1985, in Funchal, Madeira. His father was a kit man, his mother a cook. Football was his escape.
Sporting CP to Manchester United (2002-2009)
Sir Alex Ferguson saw the 18-year-old destroy United in a friendly and signed him immediately. At Old Trafford, Ronaldo transformed from a tricky winger into a goal-scoring machine.
Real Madrid (2009-2018)
The €94 million transfer made him the most expensive player in history. He repaid every cent: 450 goals in 438 games. Four Champions Leagues. Countless records.
Juventus, Return to United, Al Nassr
Even in his late 30s, Ronaldo continued to score at an extraordinary rate. Serie A, Premier League, Saudi Pro League - the goals never stopped.
