Cristiano Ronaldo was honoured after being the first player in football ever to reach 700 goals scored at the club level. Erik ten Hag & Frank Lampard were in charge of the honours. The 37-year-old surpassed the milestone 20 years & two days after starting his career with Sporting when he scored United’s winning goal at Everton.

Ronaldo’s incredible accomplishment earned accolades from managers in Goodison Park. He is also the top scorer in both the Champions League and men’s international football.

That is highly fantastic, Ten Hag said. “Scoring 700 goals is really a tremendous performance. I’m thrilled for him. I commend him for that effort and am pleased that it was his first goal in the Premier League this year. He had to wait, and I have no doubt more of his dreams. Everton’s Lampard said about Ronaldo: “It is incredible. He is among the best players ever to grace the game, and he played during a time when he and Messi were both on the scene. It doesn’t matter how they compare to one another. Both of them were outstanding players in the annals of football. They have accumulated aberrant figures that have been normalised.”

Cristiano Ronaldo Biography

Cristiano Ronaldo, full name Cristiano Ronaldo Santos Aveiro, is a Portuguese football (soccer) striker who was one of the best players of his time. He was born on February 5, 1985, in Funchal, Madeira.

The equipment manager again for the neighbourhood team Andorinha was Ronaldo’s father, José Dinis Aveiro. (The addition of Ronaldo to Cristiano’s name was done in honour of his father’s favourite movie star, Ronald Reagan, who was president of the United States at the time of Cristiano’s birth.) Ronaldo underwent surgery for a cardiac problem discovered when he was 15 years old, but he recovered well after a brief period away from the field. 

He started playing for the Clube Desportivo National of Madeira before switching to Racing Clube de Portugal (often known as Sporting Lisbon), where they played for the club’s different minor squads until making his first-team Sporting debut in 2002. At 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 metres), Ronaldo was a big player and a powerful athlete. 

He switched from being a right winger to becoming a striker with a free-flowing attacking style. He hypnotised his opponents with such a sleight of the foot that he created enough room for gaps in their defences. 

Education of Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was raised in a typical home, lacks formal schooling. At 14, Ronaldo allegedly threw a chair at his instructors and was dismissed. Ronaldo left school in the middle of his junior year because he had an interest in football that dated back to his early years and wanted to pursue a career in it. Ronaldo’s mother concurred with him in his choice to leave school.

Football Career of Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo joined an Andorinha football club between 1992-1995 when he was only eight years old. From 1995 to 1997, he was a member of the National football team, the most extensive team in the city, where he played for two years until graduating in 1997. He was given a tryout when he was 12 years old by Portugal’s Sporting CP, where the club’s coaches and officials were astounded by his skill and promptly signed him for $1500.

When Ronaldo was 16 years old, he joined Sporting CP in Portugal. Sporting’s young squad boss liked what he saw in Ronaldo and advanced him. Ronaldo became the first player to have played only for one squad after joining the club’s Under-16, Under-17, Under-18, B, and Fast teams within a year. Within the year, there was a lot of improvement.  

 He played his debut Primeira Liga game in 2002 for this team, going up with Morris Football Club. In this game, he added two more goals. Many football teams were drawn to Cristiano because of his performance in this game, and most of them wanted to add him to their roster.
