CR7 in Real Madrid

Ahead of the 2009–10 season, Ronaldo joined Real Madrid for a world-record transfer fee at the time of £80 million or €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 Bernabeu. Since club captain Raúl already wore the number 7, Ronaldo received the number 9 shirt, which was presented to him by former Madrid player Alfredo Di Stéfano.

Following Raúl’s departure, Ronaldo was handed the number 7 shirt for Real Madrid before the 2010–11 season. During his nine-season with Real Madrid, he scored 311 goals from 292 La Liga matches. He also scored 105 goals from 101 Champions League matches during the same period.
