Cristiano Ronaldo Recognised For His ‘GOATNESS’ Ahead of International Break At Quinas De Ouro Gala

Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably the greatest footballer of all time. The 5-time Ballon d’Or winner has proved himself at all stages of his life. From starting his career with Sporting CP to dominating the world with clubs like Manchester United and Real Madrid. In 2018, he also took an outrageous test of joining Juventus and dominated Italy. After a short return to Manchester United, the Portugal captain came to Asia in the Saudi Pro League and joined Al-Nassr. He has been a top performer despite the fact he turns 40 in 3 months. 

Records and awards of Cristiano Ronaldo are like sunrise; it is inevitable. The Portugal National Team’s pillar has recently been acknowledged by the federation ahead of the international break for the UEFA Nations League.

Football’s ICON Cristiano Ronaldo has been awarded the Platinum Quinas at the Quinas De Ouro gala

At the Quinas de Ouro gala, which was organised by the Portuguese Football Federation, five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo was presented with the esteemed Platinum Quinas Award. Emphasising his record-breaking 133 goals in 213 international games, the honour honours his extraordinary achievements to Portuguese football. Portugal's triumphs in the 2016 UEFA European Championship and the 2019 UEFA Nations League also owed much to Ronaldo's leadership.

Ronaldo, 39, keeps breaking new records in his career, and his most recent honour honours his ongoing influence on the national squad. Prime Minister of Portugal Luís Montenegro and Fernando Gomes, President of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), attended the event.

Ronaldo considered his path with the national team throughout the ceremony, remembering his 18-year-old debut and his outstanding mark of over 200 international appearances. He is still a major player in Portugal's footballing success despite the passing of time. Cristiano Ronaldo during the event said (Via-Hindustan Times): 

“It is an honor to receive this trophy. I see it as a beginning. Thank you to the FPF for this award, marking a long journey filled with hard work. At 18, my dream was to earn my first cap. Then I went to 25, 50, and why not 100? A round number, three digits, and then I started thinking about 150, 200, and it’s a tremendous feeling,”

"We have everything: stadiums, magnificent coaches, potential in these players, and the stars that we have. Not just in football, but in other sports. Fernando Gomes is the best president we have ever had," 

The football legend has made 216 appearances and has scored 133 goals for his country, which makes him the greatest goal-scorer in the history of the sport.
