[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]Cristiano Ronaldo is a household name in the world's most popular sport (football). He has focused on football as a career at an early age of 14 after been expelled in school for throwing a chair at a teacher although he has been playing for an amateur football team Andorinha since he was 8 where his father was a kitman. He also played for Nacional before moving to Sporting Lisbon after a successful three-day trial. He had a racing heart at the age of 15, a condition that might have forced him to leave football but he had a laser surgery and was back in training after a few days. Manchester United players urged Sir Alex to sign him after playing against them (he had already been invited to Arsenal's training ground in late 2002 but the transfer didn't materialize). He became the first portugese to play for Man Utd and requested for No. 28 shirt but Ferguson insisted he wore No. 7 shirt. He played 292 matches and scored 118 times for Man Utd in a period where he scored in a UCL final to win his first UCL title, he also won 10 titles in the colours of the Red Devils.
He moved to Real Madrid in the summer of 2009 in a then record transfer fee of £80 million. He was given the No. 9 shirt because Raul(a club legend) is wearing the No. 7 shirt although he was given the No. 7 shirt after the exit of the club icon. It was in Madrid that he cemented his status among the game's greats with a prolific goal-scoring performances which saw him scored 37 hattricks within the period of 6years. In Madrid he has a greater goal per appearance ratio has he has amassed a total of 324 goals in 310 appearances. He is the current highest goal scorer in UCL with 82 goals and he has a total of 447 club goals in 633 club appearances. In Portugal colours, he has scored 55 goals in 122 appearances thus having 501 career goals. In January 2015, he was named greatest player in Portugal's football history. His right foot accounted for 328 of his total with 89 coming on his left and 83 with his head. Eighty four of his total have come from outside the box, and he has also scored 81 penalties and 45 direct free kicks. Home advantage makes little difference to Ronaldo, whose 213 away goals account for 42 per cent of his total. He has scored 273 at home, with the final 16 coming in neutral locations. His favourite opponent is Sevilla haven scored 21 goals against them, he has 18 against Getafe and 15 against rivals Athletico Madrid and Barcelona each. He is currently the all time top scorer for Real Madrid overtaking Raul's 323 goal haul.
Indeed, he is 'arguably' the greatest footballer to have graced the sport. I'm lucky to have been in this generation to watch this amazing player.

So which history did he make?? Don't get me wrong, I am a Ronaldo fan, but I am more concerned with your caption! He's not the first to school 500 career goals, so I am still searching for the history he made with his 500th career goal.

501 goals in 753 matches... CRonaldo's scoring record not only amazing. It's beyond what you think could be possible on a football pitch...this is what I called PROLIFIC


That's crazy bro.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a LEGEND.
Has there been a better player?
Lalasticlala...biko let's celebrate this man of steel with a heart of GOLD.

Let me add this @GMAN650

Cristiano Ronaldo donated a generous amount of
£100,000 to a Madeira hospital, following which the life
of her mother was saved while she was in her battle
with cancer. When he talked about the donation,
Ronaldo mentioned that he did it so it would help set up
a cancer centre in Madeira. He played a charity match
in Madeira between the Primeira Liga club FC Porto and
group of Marítimo and Nacional players to lend support
to the victims of the Madeira flood of 2010. Cristiano
Ronaldo made the payment for a nine-year-old
Canarian boy’s specialist treatment for his terminal
cancer in 2009. He even sold away the golden boot he
had achieved in 2011 for an approximate amount of
€1.5 million and in November 2012, he donated this
amount to the fund schools for children in Gaza.

So much love for this dude.

Cristiano Ronaldo is now a hugely loved player, known
all over the world for his great gameplay, looks and
even wealth, a large part of which he contributes to the
welfare of people in the world who are suffering from
diseases or due to natural calamities. He has indeed
succeeded to gain a place in the hearts of millions of
fans, which he is likely to hold for many more years to
come.

So much love for this dude.

He's an incredible footballer mind you Messi is also incredible. I kinda have the feeling that both of them pushed themselves to score a lot of goals. I mean if Messi wasn't there Ronaldo wouldn't have scored this much and if Ronaldo wasn't there also Messi wouldn't have scored this much.

He's also generous, sexy, classy etc. He once said he doesn't want to be remembered for his exploits but as a role model.

His life outside football is amazing...very down to heart forget what he does on the pitch. No athlete in history has his number of followers on social media.


My LEGEND forever #CR7 #Idol #Respect

Correct guy! I like your positivism!

King messi is greater than CR7. Messi doesn't frown when his teamates scores goals. Messi isn't obsessed with goals so much that he always dives for penalties. Ronaldo has one of the highest no of penalties ever taken. Raul has 228 goals in 500+ apps, only 4 were penalties. CR7 has 81 penalties. King Messi may not score as much as CR7 but he is always involved with every goal. King messi is a treasure to football

Dude, penalties are part of the game and goals scored from penalties are counted as legitimate goals. In fact, do you know how many matches that was lost as a result of bad penalties. Ask John Terry and Anelka against Man Utd in 2008 UCL final or Spain U-17 team that lost on penalties to Nigeria U-17(Yemi Tella's team) where they lost three quickfire penalties to cost them the title.............. and the list goes on. Why do u think players jubilate after scoring penalties.
