Winning two La Liga titles, four Champions League trophies and four Ballon d’Or awards on top of a mouthwatering tally of 450 goals on 438 matches.
Ronaldo has truly etched his name in the history books and in the heart of the Real Madrid fans when he departed the club.
But perhaps the most impressive part of the Portuguese’s legacy is managing to become arguably the greatest player in Los Blancos’ history.
A club that boasts legends such as Alfredo Di Stefano, Raul Gonzales, Luis Figo, Hugo Sanchez, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo Nazario, Roberto Carlos, and the list goes on.
A former teammate of his, Esteban Granero, recently heaped praise on the 34-year old while looking back at his days at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Granero told Goal: “Ronaldo had just signed for Real Madrid and I joined a month-and-a-half later. I was training with him and then playing with him.
“He made a huge impact in his 10 years at the club. His impact in terms of performance and leadership has been huge.
“I can only mention two comparable players before him in Raul and Di Stefano, and I think that he is up with them as one of the most important legends we have had.”
