Cristiano Ronaldo has won almost everything in football. The Real Madrid superstar is now 31 years old and has golden medals from almost all the most prestigious football tournaments, except the World Cup…
The Portuguese has won everything on club level. Until 2009 when he was at Manchester United, he had already won the Premier League title on 3 occasions, the FA Cup, the Capital One Cup, The Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup.
Then, after moving to one of the biggest clubs in football – Real Madrid, Ronaldo kept winning trophies. He triumphed in La Liga (2012), won the Spanish Cup (twice), the Champions League on 2 more occasions, added the UEFA Super Cup to his collection and recorded a victory in the FIFA Club World Cup final.
He can also be proud of his long list of individual records in football. Ronaldo has scored a goal in every single minute of a football game. He has won the Golden shoe for the best goal-scorer in an European league on 4 occasions! The forward has won the Ballon d’Or 3 times!
But, there was something missing in his career. He hadn’t won a trophy with his national team. In the very beginning of his career, Ronaldo was a part of the glorious Portugal team with Figo, Rui Costa and Pauleta in the squad, which got to the final of the Euro 2004, but the Portuguese lost it to Greece 0-1. Since that moment, Ronaldo has never stopped dreaming about winning a major international competition.
And now, 12 years after the start of his international career, his dream came true! Portugal won the European championship 2016 in France. That was an endured, but deserved success. The fact that Ronaldo recently became the top goal-scorer of his country would have been of no meaning without the trophy!
Do you remember the World Cup 2006? Portugal was very close to the final match of the competition, but lost 0-1 to France in the semi-finals and eventually finished in 4th position. If you don’t, be sure that Cristiano Ronaldo remembers it and he will do his best to try to win the next World Cup, when he will be 33 years old – that will probably be his last chance, unless he tries again in 2022, when he will be 37!
Can Ronaldo win another trophy? I bet he can! You can also do it and even win a big amount of money in the best online bookmakers in the world. For more information about their huge bonuses you should click here.
Why I am telling you this? Because the Portuguese is now more “hungry” than ever for goals, records and trophies! In addition, he gives his teammates extra confidence only with his appearance on the pitch. And don’t forget that he still needs the trophy from the World Cup to become the player, who has won everything in the modern history of football!
