Real Madrid's 5 greatest players of all time

#2 Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo was a big star when he arrived in Madrid nine years ago but became a legend while playing for the club. He has had some outstanding achievements with the club. He has won 3 UEFA Champions League titles with Real and scored an incredible 450 goals in 437 matches.

Ronaldo has undergone a complete transformation as a footballer while playing at Madrid. From a fast and skillful winger, he has evolved into a ruthless goal-scoring machine and a complete nightmare for opposition defenders.

Ronaldo has primarily played as a centre-forward for Real in the last few years. He also creates moves by dropping down to the midfield occasionally. His pace and athleticism go perfectly with Real's counter-attacking playing style. Ronaldo usually makes those scorching runs into the opposition half and exploits the space left behind by the opposition defenders. As a result, he has been able to score heaps of goals for Real.

The fact that Ronaldo has won 4 Ballon D’Ors in his 9 seasons at Real emphasizes his impact in world football. He is on the verge of winning another Champions’ League with the club this year. With all his remarkable achievements, Ronaldo has firmly etched his name in football’s Hall of fame.
