    Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal

    CR7 is the only player to have won league titles in England, Spain and Italy as well as five UEFA Champions League titles.

    Cristiano Ronaldo is a forward who captains the Portugal national side and plays his domestic football for Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr.

    With over 800 career goals, Ronaldo is regarded as one of the greatest football players of all-time, having won more than 30 major trophies, including five UEFA Champions League titles, one UEFA European Championship and five Ballons d’Ors.

    He is the first player to win league titles in Spain, England and Italy.

    As it stands, Ronaldo also holds the record for goals in the Champions League, currently 11 clear of Messi who is the only other player over 100.

    Following three successive Champions League wins with Real Madrid between 2016 to 2018, Ronaldo left Los Blancos and joined Juventus for a fee of $117 million - the most expensive player to be signed by an Italian club and the biggest fee for any player over the age of 30 in the history of the sport.

    In 2021, Ronaldo announced he would be leaving the Old Lady after three seasons in Italy, and rejoined former side Manchester United in dramatic fashion for a fee of £25million.

    But his second spell at Manchester United ended early in November 2022 after the club terminated his contract by mutual consent.

    He joined Al-Nassr on December 30, 2022, and was part of the side that finished runners-up behind champions Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Professional League and won the Arab Club Champions Cup in 2023.

    For his national side, Ronaldo has won the European Championship in 2016 and has scored more than 100 international goals - only the second player to do so and first from Europe.

    Ronaldo is the first male player to reach 200 international appearances, Portugal's most capped player and was voted by the Portuguese Football Federation as their best player of all-time.

    At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Ronaldo became the first player ever to score at five World Cups after netting a penalty against Ghana in Portugal's 3-2 win in the opening group fixture.

    Ronaldo scored the 900th goal of his career in a Nations League victory over Croatia in September 2024 – his 213th appearance for his country
