Portugal to honour Cristiano Ronaldo

18 September, 2024 14:25

Portugal continues to find unique ways to honour legendary footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, who shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon.

Achieving feats like most international, Champions League, and Real Madrid goals records, he recently struck the net for 900th time in his illustrious career.

Ronaldo, 39, is the four-time European Golden Shoe winner and has over a billion followers across various platforms.

According to Sportskeeda, to commemorate his amazing feats in the game, Portugal has reportedly announced that it is ready to launch a “7” Euro coin to honour its most famous and successful son.

The coin will have an image of their greatest striker on it and will also have “CR7” marked on it. Interestingly, it will be acceptable as a currency across the nation once it is launched.

The number seven is synonymous with Ronaldo who has donned that shirt number for almost his entire career.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner played for Sporting Lisbon before becoming a household name with Manchester United.

He then earned a record-breaking move to Real Madrid, where he established his dominance in world football.

After a run with Juventus and a brief second coming at Old Trafford, Portuguese football legend now contributes his skill to Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr.
