Football's greatest ever no.10 and no.7

#3 Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid)

Real Madrid CF v Sevilla FC - La Liga
5-time Ballon d'Or winner

The 5 time Ballon d'Or winner is one of the greatest ever to have played the game. Cristiano Ronaldo has led Real Madrid to 2 La Liga titles, 2 Copa del Rey titles, 3 UEFA Champions League titles, and 3 FIFA Club World Cup titles.

Ronaldo averages more than a goal per game for Real Madrid in his 419 appearances. Started his career on the left-wing, Ronaldo played more centrally at the Santiago Bernabeu, and has ultimately proved his mettle in two of the best leagues in the world.

No.7 in football is always special and Cristiano Ronaldo is no different. He wore the no.7 at Manchester United and Real Madrid, except for the 2009/10 campaign.

Sir Bobby Charlton once said, “Ronaldo does things I have never seen from any other player and it really is marvellous to watch. It takes a great player to grab the bull by the horns and make things happen, but he has done it repeatedly.”
