"His extraordinary goal-scoring achievements in the competition seem destined to stand the test of time, posing a remarkable challenge for future generations to surpass.

"His sustained excellence at the highest level is a testament to his relentless pursuit of both team and individual honours."


Ronaldo has won the Champions League five times and finished top scorer in the competition on seven occasions.
