#13 2015-16 season

Real Madrid bounced back to lift the La Liga title in 2015-16. Ronaldo's contribution of 51 goals in 48 appearances was again vital for the Spanish giants. The Los Blancos lifted the Champions League trophy as well. Ronaldo became Real Madrid's all-time top scorer in the Spanish League as well as all competitions as he surpassed Raul that season. He won his 4th Ballon d'Or title as well.

#14 2016-17 season

Ronaldo scored 42 goals in 46 appearances overall and helped Real Madrid win the Champions League title for the second season running. His 500th club career goal also came in the same season.

The Los Blancos also went on to win the Spanish League this season. The dynamic striker would win another Ballon d'Or title to equal Messi's record of 5 titles. Ron would also win the UEFA European Championship with Portugal in 2016 making it an extremely fruitful year for him overall.

#15 2017-18 season

This was Ronaldo's 9th and final season for the Spanish giants Real Madrid. He scored 44 goals in 44 appearances and helped the Los Blancos win their third successive Champions League title (a record).

Ronaldo now plies his trade with Juventus and this is how he is looking for the Black and White outfits in the ongoing 2018-19 season:

Speed, skills, looks, fame, money, stamina -- Ronaldo has everything. Besides playing for the topmost clubs, Ronaldo has also achieved paramount success for his country -- Portugal -- and is the top scorer for the national team with 85 goals in 154 appearances.

His transformation has been such that everyone desires to be like him. It would be fair to call him the Greek God in football. His smile is so electric thanks to his perfect veneers that it can send anyone's heart racing. His lanky body has been replaced by a hunky body -- perfectly tanned. His hair is not unkempt anymore -- rather -- people want to replicate his hairstyles. Besides a football player, Ronaldo has also become a huge fashion and style icon.

Over time, there is only one thing that has remained constant in the Portuguese -- his passion, commitment, and dedication for the beautiful sport of football. Ronaldo's is a story of 'rags to riches' -- true -- but it does not take away the tremendous amount of hard work he has put in, and still puts in, to be the best in the world.
