New Delhi: Known as ‘The Greatest Player of All Time’, Cristiano Ronaldo has an unparalleled track record at Real Madrid. The Portuguese striker scored 450 goals for the Spanish club and won the UEFA Champions League four times, earning him the nickname ‘Mr Champions League.’
Los Blancos are known for leaving things late and making remarkable comebacks. Their appearances in the UEFA Champions League have seen them create iconic moments, the most recent being the 2023/24 semi-final victory over Bayern Munich, but the team has been called lucky on social media at times, which Ronaldo has dismissed, claiming that the club has a ”different kind of aura.’
“Real Madrid? People say that they are lucky in the UCL but no, they are not lucky. It’s just the best club in the history of football and I was so happy to play there. I became the all-time scorer at the club, and we won four Champions League games. It was a pleasure! At the Bernabeu, there’s a different kind of aura,” said Ronaldo on his YouTube channel.

Kylian Mbappe’s arrival, probably the biggest star to play for Real since Ronaldo himself, is the most significant news in the current football environment. His addition to the team brings a new level of talent and potential, and his performance prior to the international break, where he scored two goals against Real Betis, is a testament to this.
Ronaldo went on to discuss Mbappe’s arrival and the expected impact.
“I think Kylian is going to do very well at Real Madrid. The structure of the club is very nice and solid. They have a great coach and president. He will do well there for sure,” he added.
Across a career that has seen him dominate Europe for over two decades, Ronaldo has proven to be one of the most prolific goal-scorers in footballing history. His stints at Sporting Lisbon (5 goals), Manchester United (145 goals), Real Madrid (450 goals), Juventus (101 goals), and Al-Nassr ( 68 goals) have seen him register his name in countless record books.
A six-time Ballon d’Or winner, Ronaldo went on to name a few players who he believes have the potential to win the trophy in the future. The 39-year-old even named Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal.
“Kylian Mbappé can win the Ballon d’Or for the next few years, probably Haaland, Bellingham. Also, Lamine Yamal. I think this new generation has a lot of potential,” said Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 900th career goal for club and country during the ongoing international break, a feat that has never been achieved before. This milestone, which came in a crucial match, further solidifies his position as one of the greatest goal-scorers in footballing history.
