Ronaldo's trophy-laden spell at Madrid
Ronaldo quickly became a phenomenon after arriving at the Santiago Bernabeu in 2009 for a then-record transfer fee of €80 million.
His ability to find the back of the net was unparalleled, setting a new benchmark with an astonishing 450 goals, a record that remains untouched, per Transfermarkt.
During his time at Madrid, he captured various collective and personal titles, including four of his five Ballon d'Or trophies.
