Throughout his career, the CR7 enjoyed a remarkable career, achieving success for club and country.
The 39-year-old has smashed 130 goals for his national team with numerous accolades, including leading Portugal to a historic victory in Euro 2016 and lifting the UEFA Nations League trophy with A Selecao in 2019.
Recently, the four-time European Golden Shoe winner’s star scored his 900th goal through a “super kick” during a UEFA Nations League fixture against Scotland.
