MADRID - After fixing his turn to Juventus, Cristiano Ronaldo leaves Real Madrid following nine momentous, trophy loaded seasons at the blue-bloods of Spanish football having set up himself as their most persuasive player since Alfredo Di Stefano.
The Portugal forward, presently 33, is by a wide margin Real's untouched best scorer and he had an essential job in winning four Champions League trophies just as two Liga titles and two residential Cups close by an excess of different trophies. However for the majority of his 451 objectives in all rivalries and the flatware he amassed, Ronaldo's time at the Bernabeu was laden with snapshots of high strain prompting Tuesday's declaration that he was joining the Italian victors.
His periodical dalliances with leaving Real and his incessant supplications for consideration now and again left a harsh taste with a club that has seen numerous greats go through, and prompted him being booed by his very own supporters on a few events. The reality he didn't appreciate unblighted reverence from the club in spite of all that he had improved the situation them obviously irritated Ronaldo, as did the way that he was not offered new enlarged gets each time he requested them.
Ronaldo was film industry from the day he touched base in the Spanish capital in July 2009 as the most costly player on the planet after a 80 million pounds ($106.13 million) move from Manchester United and having won the Ballon d'Or out of the blue the earlier year. A stunning 85,000 fans pressed out the Bernabeu and a further 5,000 viewed on a screen outside to see him wear Madrid's white shirt out of the blue and the Portuguese once in a while frustrated on the pitch, scoring no less than 40 objectives in eight of his nine seasons at the club.
To put his productive strike rate into point of view, Ronaldo toppled Real's past record top scorer Raul's pull of 323 objectives in 308 amusements, well under a large portion of the 741 diversions the Spanish incredible required. His general count was more than twofold the quantity of objectives Di Stefano oversaw in 11 seasons at Real, in spite of the fact that the Argentine drove Real to five European Cup triumphs against Ronaldo's four, scoring in every last, and was to a great extent in charge of transforming the Madrid club into a mainland superpower.
Ronaldo, however, helped Real restore their status as the most dreaded club on the mainland, finishing their 12-year hang tight for the Champions League by winning it in 2014 and after that driving their surprising raced to three progressive triumphs, taking their European Cup check from nine to 13.
By completing as best scorer in every one of the last six seasons in the Champions League, Ronaldo coordinated Real's commended status in European football's best club rivalry. From various perspectives, Ronaldo and Real had a place together, however they were not generally an upbeat couple.
The primary indications of an uneasy relationship rose when he pronounced on the contribute 2012, "I'm dismal and the club know why", and they raised their head again after the 4-1 prevail upon Juventus in the 2017 Champions League last when paper A Bola said he had chosen to leave.

Ronaldo's objections, said to be revolved around Real's hesitance to give him a compensation rise and an apparent absence of help for him in his fight in court against the Spanish assessment experts, got little compassion among fans or the Spanish media, in any case. Their understanding wore much more slender when he hoarded the story after Real had beaten Liverpool in the 2018 Champions League last in Kiev by saying "it was excellent to play for Real Madrid" and re-disclosed his disappointment with the club.
It was an unedifying yet unusually fitting end to a magnificent yet uneven marriage between one of the game's most prominent ever players and a standout amongst its most storied clubs. Ronaldo will properly be recognized as a standout amongst Real's best ever players, in spite of the fact that he never entirely delighted in the God-like status he pined for.
