So far so good, seven new acclaims have been made in respect of the Portuguese superstar following his club’s victory from the Champions League finals of Saturday evening. Below are the seven highlights.
Ronaldo became the first man to score in three Champions League finals. The first time was in his old team, Manchester United in 2008. Now, with Saturday’s scoring and last year’s trilling goal, Ronaldo is a legend for later generation footballers must learn about. This is the first wonder!
Ronaldo beats Barcelona star, Lionel Messi to finish as top scorer in this season’s Champions League. Â The man of the moment now has 12 goals in place of messi’s 11. Here is the second wonder!
Ronaldo becomes top scorer in more Champions League campaigns than anyone in history. This winning makes it the 6th finishing for Cristiano Ronaldo. Messi is second place with five times in his career. Now, the tie is broken. Ronaldo takes lead. And thats the third wonder of Ronaldo!
Ronaldo secured the 600th goal of his career (for club and country all combined). This is massive. The Real Madrid star is really flying. Here is his fourth wonder!
Ronaldo scored Real Madrid’s 500th goal in the Champions League. It is interesting that only Madrid has reached this number. This is about the fiveth wonder!
Ronaldo became only the 20th player in history to win four or more European Cups. He joins 19 other players in history who have won four or more of Champions League. That’s his exceptional sixth wonder!
Ronaldo comes to draw level with Raul on 144 Champions League appearances. Now, he shares the fourth place with the great Raul. This feat makes it the seventh wonder, you can imagine.
Invariably, we are not wrong if we nick Ronaldo WonderMan of this football century.
