It is too early for the Juventus striker to end his career, the footballer himself and the Turin club know about this, which intends to extend the contract with him until 2023. We will not tell you what achievements and records Ronaldo has surpassed, it is better to pay attention to the player’s future goals.

Become the most titled footballer

Dani Alves is the most titled footballer in the world (42 trophies). Cristiano is only in ninth position on this list and shares it with former Barcelona midfielder Xavi (33 trophies each). In January 2021, the Portuguese helped Juventus win the Italian Super Cup. It will be extremely difficult to climb to the first line of this top, nevertheless, even here there is motivation to catch up with Messi (36 titles, like Ryan Giggs).

Win the most UEFA Champions League trophies

The current champion for most UEFA Champions League wins is former Real Madrid striker Paco Gento (6 trophies). Cristiano has five Champions League wins: one cup with Manchester United and four with Real Madrid. Overtaking the Spaniard is quite real.

Win the Champions League with three clubs

Clarence Seedorf and Samuel Eto’o managed to win with three different teams in the Champions League. In the 1994/1995 season, the Dutchman raised the trophy with Ajax, in 1997/1998 with Real, and in 2002/2003 and 2006/2007 with Milan. Cameroon won against Real Madrid in the 1999/2000 season (played three matches), in 2005/2006 and 2008/2009 with Barcelona and in 2009/2010 with Inter. Ronaldo won with Manchester United and Real Madrid. If the Portuguese takes the trophy with Juventus, he will be equal to the legends. To overtake them, you have to move to another top club and rewrite history.

Winning the Golden Boot in the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A
