On his 39th birthday, the Portuguese superstar received many meaningful wishes from many teams and organizations around the world.
Manchester United sent a short greeting: “Viva Ronaldo”. Old Trafford is the place that elevates Ronaldo’s career. In December 2022, CR7 left MU after the scandalous interview with Piers Morgan. However, the “Red Devils” still consider him a legend. After Ronaldo, the number 7 shirt has not had a worthy replacement.
The Portuguese team called Ronaldo “G.O.A.T” (roughly translated: greatest of all time) on his birthday February 5, 2024. The former MU star scored 128 goals at the national team level, an achievement no other player can touch. Ronaldo’s brilliant milestone is the EURO 2016 championship.
“Have a great birthday, one of the greatest players in history,” La Liga wrote. Spain’s number one tournament is where CR7 witnessed many successes in his career. In La Liga, Ronaldo scored 311 goals, only less than Lionel Messi (474 goals) and won 2 titles.
Ronaldo is enjoying the final phase of his career in the Middle East. Al Nassr treated Ronaldo like a king and called him “G.O.A.T”. The Portuguese superstar is said to have paved the way for many players from Europe to play football in Saudi Arabia over the past year.
Ronaldo is considered “Mr. Champions League”. He won the tournament 5 times and still holds the record for scoring the most goals in tournament history with 140 goals. Ronaldo also has 40 assists in the Champions League, an achievement only inferior to Ryan Giggs (41).
FIFA congratulates Ronaldo and Neymar as they both share the same birthday, through a video of memorable moments, with the message: “Two of the greatest players.”
“Happy birthday, G.O.A.T Ronaldo” is the greeting from Serie A. He won the Scudetto twice in 3 seasons playing here.
Juventus also sent brief wishes to Ronaldo with the message: “The only player to score more than 100 goals in 3 seasons with the team.” In total, Ronaldo has 101 goals in 131 matches with “Old Lady”. However, Juve’s inability to achieve success in the Champions League caused the 39-year-old superstar to be criticized.
It was quite surprising when Real Madrid appeared quiet on Ronaldo’s birthday. During 10 years playing for “Los Blancos”, Ronaldo scored 450 goals, becoming the greatest scorer in the history of the Spanish Royal team. He won 4 Golden Balls (2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017) with Real.
At the age of 39, Ronaldo makes the football world admire. He ends 2023 as the top scorer in the past 12 calendar months. Ronaldo hasn’t stopped yet. He hopes to attend both EURO 2024 and World Cup 2026 before retiring.
