His second goal was his 33rd of the campaign , which bettered George Best 's total of 32 goals in the 1967 -- 68 season , thus setting the club 's new single - season record by a midfielder . Ronaldo scored his final league goal of the season from the penalty spot in the title decider against Wigan on 11 May , as United claimed a second successive Premier League title . His 31 league goals earned him the Premier League Golden Boot , as well as the European Golden Shoe , which made him the first winger to win the latter award . Ronaldo

The World Cup triumph made him a national hero in France , and he received the Legion of Honour in 1998 .

England at the FIFA World Cup

Cristiano Ronaldo
A versatile attacker , Ronaldo is capable of playing on either wing as well as through the centre of the pitch , and , while ostensibly right - footed , is very strong with both feet . He ranks among the world 's fastest footballers , both with and without the ball . Tactically , Ronaldo has undergone several evolutions throughout his career . While at Sporting and during his first season at Manchester United , he was typically deployed as a traditional winger on the right side of midfield , where he regularly looked to deliver crosses into the penalty area . In this position , he was able to use his pace and acceleration , agility , and technical skills to take on opponents in one - on - one situations . Ronaldo became noted for his dribbling and flair , often displaying an array of tricks and feints , such as the step overs that became his trademark .
England at the FIFA World Cup
This result took England to second place and finished behind Morocco . England then also beat Paraguay 3 -- 0 in the Round of 16 . In the quarter - finals , England renewed their rivalry with Argentina in a game that has become notorious for the Argentina goals , both scored by Diego Maradona . Maradona 's first goal , known as the Hand of God , was illegal and should not have counted , as he used his hand to punch the ball into the net . However , the referee missed this infringement , and ruled that the goal should stand . Maradona then made the score 2 - 0 , famously dribbling from inside Argentina 's half and around several English players before scoring . Gary Lineker pulled back the score to 2 - 1 , but England ran out of time to equalise , and were eliminated . Nevertheless , Lineker finished with the Golden Boot by scoring six goals and thereby becoming England 's first Golden Boot winner .

Cristiano Ronaldo
At the start of his seventh season at Real Madrid , the 2015 -- 16 campaign , Ronaldo became the club 's all - time top scorer , first in the league and then in all competitions . His five - goal haul in a 6 -- 0 away win over Espanyol on 12 September took his tally in La Liga to 230 goals in 203 games , surpassing the club 's previous recordholder , Raúl . A month later , on 17 October , he again surpassed Raúl when he scored the second goal in a 3 -- 0 defeat of Levante at the Bernabéu to take his overall total for the club to 324 goals . Ronaldo also became the all - time top scorer in the Champions League with a hat - trick in the first group match against Shakhtar Donetsk , having finished the previous season level with Messi on 77 goals . A brace against Malmö FF , scoring in a 2 -- 0 away win on 30 September , saw him reach the milestone of 500 career goals for both club and country .

Cristiano Ronaldo
As rumours circulated of Ronaldo 's interest in moving to Real Madrid , United filed a tampering complaint with governing body FIFA over Madrid 's alleged pursuit of their player , but they declined to take action . FIFA president Sepp Blatter asserted that the player should be allowed to leave his club , describing the situation as `` modern slavery '' . Despite Ronaldo publicly agreeing with Blatter , he remained at United for another year . Ahead of the 2008 -- 09 season , on 7 July , he underwent ankle surgery , which kept him out of action for 10 weeks . Following his return , he scored his 100th goal in all competitions for United with the first of two free kicks in a 5 -- 0 win against Stoke City on 15 November , which meant he had now scored against all 19 opposition teams in the Premier League at the time . Five days later , he received the third red card of his career when he was sent off against Manchester City . At the close of 2008 , Ronaldo helped United win the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan , assisting the final - winning goal against Liga de Quito and winning the Silver Ball in the process . He subsequently became United 's first Ballon d'Or winner since George Best in 1968 , and the first Premier League player to be named the FIFA World Player of the Year .
Sunderland A.F.C.

Despite him missing a penalty in the first leg against Barcelona , United eventually advanced to the final in Moscow , where they faced Chelsea .

Cristiano Ronaldo
Ronaldo became Manchester United 's first - ever Portuguese player when he signed before the 2003 -- 04 season . His transfer fee of £ 12.24 million made him , at the time , the most expensive teenager in English football history . Although he requested the number 28 , his number at Sporting , he received the number 7 shirt , which had previously been worn by such United players as George Best , Eric Cantona and David Beckham . Wearing the number 7 became an extra source of motivation for Ronaldo . A key element in his development during his time in England proved to be his manager , Alex Ferguson , of whom he later said , `` He 's been my father in sport , one of the most important and influential factors in my career . '' ``
Cristiano Ronaldo
In Spain , Ronaldo has won 13 trophies , including two La Liga titles , two Copa del Rey titles , three Champions League titles and two UEFA Super Cups .

He has scored a record 32 La Liga hat - tricks , including a record - tying eight hat - tricks in the 2014 -- 15 season and is the only player to reach 30 league goals in six consecutive La Liga seasons . In 2014 , Ronaldo became the fastest player in history to reach 200 La Liga goals , which he achieved in 178 matches . In 2015 , he became the club 's all - time leading goalscorer . In 2016 , Ronaldo won his fourth Ballon d'Or by a record voting margin after sealing La Undécima , Madrid 's 11th European title , and winning Euro 2016 .

The first player from outside Great Britain to break the record was Bernabé Ferreyra , a player known as La Fiera for his powerful shot . His 1932 transfer from Tigre to River Plate cost £ 23k , and the record would last for 17 years ( the longest the record has lasted ) until it was broken by Manchester United 's sale of Johnny Morris to Derby County for £ 24k in March 1949 . The record was broken seven further times between 1949 and 1961 , when Luis Suárez Miramontes was sold by FC Barcelona to Inter Milan for £ 152k , becoming the first ever player sold for more than £ 100k .
Cristiano Ronaldo
Ronaldo found greater team success in the league , as he helped Real Madrid win their first La Liga title in four years , with a record 100 points . Following a hat - trick against Levante , further increasing Madrid 's lead over Barcelona , he scored his 100th league goal for Madrid in a 5 -- 1 win over Real Sociedad on 24 March 2012 , a milestone he reached in just 92 matches across three seasons , breaking the previous club record held by Ferenc Puskás . Another hat - trick in the Madrid derby against Atlético Madrid brought his total to 40 league goals , equalling his record of the previous season . His final league goal of the campaign , against Mallorca , took his total to 46 goals , four short of the new record set by Messi , and earned him the distinction of being the first player to score against all 19 opposition teams in a single season in La Liga .
Cristiano Ronaldo
Ronaldo scored a total of 42 goals in all competitions during the 2007 -- 08 season , his most prolific campaign during his time in England . His first goal of the season came against his former club , Sporting , with a header in the first group match of the Champions League . He missed three matches after headbutting a Portsmouth player at the start of the season , an experience he said taught him not to let opponents provoke him , but still managed to score 13 league goals by the campaign 's midway point . At the end of 2007 , Ronaldo was named runner - up to Kaká for the Ballon d'Or , and came third , behind Kaká and Lionel Messi , in the running for the FIFA World Player of the Year award . ``
2017 UEFA Champions League Final
Juventus dominated possession in the opening 19 minutes of the match , and had three major chances to score . Gonzalo Higuaín had two shots on goal that were easily saved by Keylor Navas , while Miralem Pjanić had a more dangerous chance that Navas dived to push wide to his right . Despite the scoring chances , as well as the closing down of Real Madrid 's counterattacks in the midfield , Cristiano Ronaldo scored the first goal of the match in the 20th minute ; Dani Carvajal played a one - two on the right with Ronaldo before passing across for him to shoot low to the left corner of the net , which deflected in off the right foot of Leonardo Bonucci . Juventus responded with a goal seven minutes later to bring the score to 1 -- 1 . Mario Mandžukić chested down a ball from Higuaín and hooked the ball over his shoulder from 15 yards ( 14 m ) , which arced over Navas . The goal was heralded as one of the best goals ever scored in a Champions League final and was compared to Zinedine Zidane 's goal in the 2002 final for Real Madrid . Juventus remained in control through the end of the first half , while Real Madrid conceded two yellow cards for defenders Sergio Ramos and Dani Carvajal .
History of Arsenal F.C. (1966–present)
2006 -- 07 marked a transitional period -- Arsenal had sold a string of key players , including Ashley Cole , Sol Campbell , Lauren , Freddie Ljungberg , and most significantly , all - time top scorer and club captain Thierry Henry to Barcelona . Arsenal went into 2007 -- 08 season with only four players from the title - winning season in 2003 -- 04 , with the likes of Cesc Fàbregas and Gaël Clichy establishing their places in the side .
Cristiano Ronaldo
In the Copa del Rey , Ronaldo helped Madrid reach the final by scoring a brace of penalties against Atlético Madrid at the Vicente Calderón , the first of which meant he had now scored in every single minute of a 90 - minute football match . His continued issues with his knee and thigh caused him to miss the final , where Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 2 -- 1 to claim the trophy . While Madrid were less successful in La Liga , finishing third , Ronaldo was unmatched as a goalscorer . He scored 31 goals in 30 league games , which earned him the Pichichi and the European Golden Shoe , receiving the latter award jointly with Liverpool striker Luis Suárez . Among his haul was his 400th career goal , in 653 appearances for club and country , which came with a brace against Celta Vigo on 6 January ; he dedicated his goals to compatriot Eusébio , who had died two days before . A last - minute , backheeled volley scored against Valencia on 4 May -- his 50th goal in all competitions -- was recognised as the best goal of the season by the Liga de Fútbol Profesional , which additionally named Ronaldo the Best Player in La Liga . ``

Cristiano Ronaldo
Ahead of the 2009 -- 10 season , Ronaldo joined Real Madrid for a world record transfer fee at the time , of £ 80 million ( € 94 million ) . His contract , which ran until 2015 , was worth € 11 million per year and contained a € 1 billion buy - out clause . At least 80,000 fans attended his presentation at the Santiago Bernabéu , surpassing the 25 - year record of 75,000 fans who had welcomed Diego Maradona at Napoli . Since club captain Raúl already wore the number 7 , the number Ronaldo wore at Manchester United , Ronaldo received the number 9 shirt , which was presented to him by the former Madrid player Alfredo Di Stéfano .

Zinedine Zidane
Despite establishing himself as one of the most successful managers of his era and in the history of Real Madrid , Zidane 's time at Real Madrid was considered by some to be shadowed by a partial amount of luck . However , Zidane 's tactical philosophy , particularly his tactical flexibility , has been praised by many . His use of in - game substitutions was particularly praised , as many of his substitutes led to victories , such as introducing Marco Asensio and Lucas Vázquez in order to provide pace and width against Paris Saint - Germain in the UEFA Champions League to overturn a 1 -- 0 deficit into a 3 -- 1 victory . His introduction of Gareth Bale for similar reasons in the 2018 UEFA Champions League Final also reaped similar rewards . It is also noted that his team focused on attacking through the flanks , while he is credited for popularizing the 4 -- 4 -- 2 diamond formation in contemporary football .
History of Tottenham Hotspur F.C.
Despite the penalty , the club was determined to have a successful season in 1994 -- 95 and began the year signing three players who had appeared at that summer 's World Cup , German striker Jürgen Klinsmann and two Romanians , Ilie Dumitrescu and Gheorghe Popescu . Forward players in Spurs line - up already included Teddy Sheringham , Darren Anderton and Nick Barmby , and Ardiles would choose to play five attacking players , dubbed the `` Famous Five '' of Klinsmann , Sheringham , Anderton , Barmby , and Dumitrescu . Their debut in the 1994 -- 95 season against Sheffield Wednesday in August 1994 , which Spurs won 4 -- 3 , was described as a `` breathtaking exhibition of football '' , but the imbalance in the team would also leak goals ( 33 in 15 games ) . Spurs struggled in September with a series of defeats , and after a 3 -- 0 defeat in the Coca - Cola Cup in October , Ardiles was dismissed with the club standing just two places above the relegation zone , although Spurs would have been 11th in the table with the deducted points later restored .
