Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest forwards in the history of football. The Portuguese superstar has seen a lot of adversity in his life and it has only made him stronger as a person. His strong mentality can be seen in the way he approaches his career and everything around it.

Recently, Ronaldo and his partner Georgina Rodriguez were expecting twins, a boy, and a girl. However, the baby boy tragically passed away during childbirth. The girl is healthy and doing well, and the entire world of football showed their love for Ronaldo’s family.

Liverpool fans were there for the forward too, as, during United’s league match against Jurgen Klopp’s team, the fans in the stadium began applauding in the seventh minute. Today, Real Madrid fans did the same during the club’s match against Espanyol.

Ronaldo had spent almost ten years at Madrid, and the club’s fans love him. He has been the greatest player in the club’s history, and his numbers prove it all. In nine years with Real Madrid, Ronaldo managed to score a mind-blowing 450 goals.

It wasn’t just the sheer volume of goals that were extraordinary; it was the fact that Ronaldo stepped up when things mattered the most. He won four Champions League titles with Real Madrid and was their top scorer in each of those campaigns.
