Breakdown of Ronaldo’s club victories
Ronaldo’s impressive tally of 700 victories is distributed across several clubs throughout his illustrious career:
Sporting CP: 13 wins
Manchester United: 214 wins (across two stints)
Real Madrid: 316 wins
Juventus: 91 wins
Al-Nassr: 66 wins
This achievement places him significantly ahead of other football legends, including his long-time rival Lionel Messi, who has not reached this number of club victories.
Reaching 700 club victories is not just a numerical milestone; it reflects Ronaldo’s longevity and consistency at the highest levels of professional football. His career began in earnest with Sporting CP in Portugal before moving to Manchester United in England.
He then had a historic tenure at Real Madrid, followed by successful spells at Juventus and now Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo’s ability to maintain peak performance into his late thirties is noteworthy. He remains the all-time leading goalscorer in football history, having netted over 900 goals across all competitions. His record at Al-Nassr stands at an impressive 85 goals in just 94 matches.
In addition to his club achievements, speculation surrounds whether he will participate in the upcoming FIFA World Cup in 2026 when he would be approaching his 41st birthday. His teammate Bruno Fernandes expressed confidence that Ronaldo would still be part of the national squad for that tournament.
