Cristiano Ronaldo's football career can be matched by very few in the history of the sport.
His incredible scoring record, dribbling ability and physical attributes have helped him to win almost every trophy for both club and country.
Starting his professional career at Sporting Lisbon, Ronaldo has played for Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and now finds himself at Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
The Sporting News looks at what the Portugal international has achieved throughout his legendary career so far.

Cristiano Ronaldo trophies won
Ronaldo has managed to win at least one trophy with each of the four clubs he played for before moving to Saudi Arabia.
During his first spell with Manchester United, he was part of the team that won three consecutive Premier League titles. He took this one step further at Real Madrid, winning three straight Champions League titles under Zinedine Zidane.
The 39-year-old has also won two continental trophies with Portugal, along with a win at youth level too, but he has not managed to win the World Cup, unlike his long-time rival Lionel Messi.
He led his newest club Al Nassr to the Arab Club Champions Cup to begin the 2023/24 season, proving he can still factor into a title-winning effort.

Cristiano Ronaldo Champions Leagues won in career
As you can see from the table above, Ronaldo has had his fair share of success in the Champions League. In 2008, the forward secured his first UCL title after Man United beat Chelsea on penalties. Ronaldo scored for his side as the match finished 1-1 after extra time, although he missed in the shootout.
Ronaldo holds multiple records in the competition. He has scored the most goals (140), most goals in a single season (17, 2013/14), most goals in the knockout stages (67), most final wins (five), and most Champions League appearances, to name a few.
Despite not scoring in his first four seasons in the competition, and losing the 2008/09 final to Barcelona, Ronaldo is certainly one of the best, if not the best, to play in the Champions League.
How many times Cristiano Ronaldo won Ballon d'Or
Ronaldo's contributions to his respective teams over the years have not gone unnoticed as he has received many individual accolades, including the Ballon d'Or.
He has won the award on five separate occasions in 2008, 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017. He has also won the FIFA World Player of the Year/Best Men's player three times in his career.
In 2021, Ronaldo received The Best FIFA Special Award for Outstanding Career Achievement as he broke the record for most international goals scored by a male footballer.
Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Lionel Messi trophies won
Ronaldo's career has been forever intertwined with that of Messi as both attackers have dominated football for the best part of the two decades.
The rivalry peaked when both players were playing in La Liga, Ronaldo for Madrid and Messi for Barcelona, and they were going head-to-head for the league title.
Many believe Messi's World Cup win with Argentina back in December has taken him above Ronaldo in the all-time rankings, but others still argue the Portugal star is on top.
