The man Cristiano Ronaldo is on his way to becoming a legend for three clubs, having played for Manchester United, Real Madrid and currently at Juventus. While he’s just a year-and-half into his Juve career, his successes at Man United and Real Madrid cannot be overstated.

The Portuguese became a global superstar when he joined the Old Trafford outfit and helped them to some important trophies. By the time he left England in the summer of 2009, he had won every domestic trophy, as well as the Champions League and the Ballon d’Or.

Ronaldo was even more successful following his move to Real Madrid, where he added four more Ballon d’Ors and led Los Blancos to an unprecedented four UEFA Champions League titles in five years; three of which came in succession.

His 450 goals also make him Madrid’s all-time top scorer. Ronaldo’s legendary status certainly spreads across Old Trafford and the Santiago Bernabéu and he would hope to attain same by the time he departs Juventus.

When you take a critical look at Zinedine Zidane, it’s difficult to separate his football career from his career as a manager. This is because the Frenchman has been so successful at both. As a player, he won everything and as a manager he is taking the same path.

Zidane won the Ballon d’Or thrice but his very first came with Juventus. The French maestro also won the Serie A twice with the Bianconeri and ended up playing more than 200 games before joining Real Madrid for a world record fee.

As the most expensive player at the time, Zidane lived up to expectation and led Los Blancos to a host of trophies, including the UEFA Champions League. Zidane retired at the Bernabéu in 2006, but his legacy remains and he has continued to bring joy to Los Merengues even as a manager of the club.
