5 players who lived up to their legendary jersey numbers

#3 Real Madrid Number 7- Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably the best number 7 Real Madrid has ever had

When Ronaldo arrived at Real Madrid he was labelled as one of the best of all times and the Portuguese striker has only further enhanced his reputation during his 7 years at the Santiago Bernabéu. His predecessor to the legendary number jersey was Spanish superstar Raul Gonzalez, a man who truly made the Madrid number 7 jersey his own.

Ronaldo has already overtaken Raul as the leading goal scorer at the club having scored an incredible 364 goals in 348 games, a much healthier record when compared to Raul who scored 323 goals in 741 games. Showing no signs of ageing, the 31-year-old is touted to raise the bar even further for the next number 7 at Real Madrid.
