Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro (born 5 February 1985) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for and captains both Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr and the Portugal national team. Often considered the greatest goalscorer in the history of the sport, Ronaldo has won five Ballon d'Or awards and four European Golden Shoes. He has won 33 trophies in his career, including seven league titles, five UEFA Champions Leagues, the UEFA European Championship, and the UEFA Nations League. He holds the records for most appearances, goals, and assists in the Champions League and European Championship. Ronaldo's career is defined by his relentless work ethic and adaptability. After conquering England with Manchester United, Spain with Real Madrid (where he became the club's all-time top scorer), and Italy with Juventus, he moved to Al Nassr in January 2023. This move catalyzed the massive influx of global talent to the Saudi Pro League. By 2026, Ronaldo was on the verge of scoring his 1,000th career goal, a milestone never before achieved in official top-level football. Off the pitch, he is the most followed human being on social media, with over 900 million followers across platforms. His brand, CR7, spans fashion, hotels, and fitness. Despite being in his 40s by 2026, he remains a physical specimen and the undisputed leader of the Portuguese national team, aiming for one final World Cup appearance.
