Time may pass, but legends remain eternal. On February 5, Real Madrid paid an emotional tribute to one of its greatest icons, Cristiano Ronaldo, as he celebrated his 40th birthday. A club synonymous with greatness, Los Blancos took a moment to honor the man who redefined success in their iconic white jersey.
Ronaldo’s journey with Real Madrid is nothing short of legendary. From his grand unveiling at the Santiago Bernabéu in 2009 to his final farewell in 2018, he crafted a legacy that will stand the test of time. Scoring an astonishing 451 goals in just nine seasons, he became the club’s all-time leading scorer, a record that may never be broken. His remarkable tally of 16 major titles, including four UEFA Champions League crowns, cemented his status as one of the greatest players to ever grace the sport.
To mark this milestone birthday, Real Madrid took to social media to express their admiration for the Portuguese superstar. Their message read:
“Dear Cristiano, on behalf of Real Madrid, we want to send you our warmest congratulations on your 40th birthday. All Madridistas are proud of your legacy and of what you represent for our history. Have a wonderful day with your family and loved ones.”
Even after his departure, Ronaldo remains an integral part of Madrid’s identity. His passion, dedication, and insatiable hunger for victory continue to inspire fans and players alike. Now shining with Al Nassr and still representing Portugal at the highest level, he defies time with his extraordinary fitness and determination.
For Madridistas, Ronaldo isn’t just a former player—he’s a symbol of their golden era, a legend whose impact will forever be etched in the club’s history.
