Cristiano Ronaldo has won everything in Spain

When Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real Madrid in 2009, the Spanish giants were living in the shadows of their arch-rivals FC Barcelona. Nevertheless, such was the level of the impact he made that the club went on to win innumerable major titles.

During his nine year successful spell at the Spanish capital, Ronaldo won the following titles:

2 x La Liga

2 x Copa Del Rey

2 x Spanish Super Cup

4 x UEFA Champions League

3 x UEFA Super Cup

3 x FIFA Club World Cup

As such, this was in all likelihood the best time to say goodbye to Real Madrid.
