Cristiano Ronaldo, also known as CR7, is a living legend and one of best the football players ever! With his many records, trophies, personal awards and impressive career, then it can easily be forgotten, where it all started.
The Portuguese club Sporting CP, is the club where Cristiano had his professional debut in the beautiful game. In just one season, he managed to develop so drastically, that he from the U16s moved up through the ranks on the U17s, U18s to the B-squad, until he ended up on the first team, which played in the best Portuguese league, Primeira Liga. On the 7th of October 2002, at an age of only 17 years old, he debuted as a professionel and at the same time scored his first and second professionel career goal, against Moreirense.
Ronaldo went on to play 25 official matches and scoring three times for Sporting CP, before the legendary friendly match against Manchester United, which would end up having a decisive influence on the rest of his career. On the 6th of August 2003, Sporting CP’s new stadium, Estadio Jose Alvalade, were inaugurated with its first ever match. It was a friendly match in the pre-season, between Sporting CP and Manchester United. The match ended 3-1 to Sporting CP, and the young Cristiano Ronaldo had delivered a spectacular performance against 'The Red Devils'. Rumor has it, that the Manchester United players were so impressed with abilities of the young Portuguese, that after the game they asked their manager; Sir Alex Ferguson, to sign him immediately. Nonetheless, the English giants signed him shortly after, which made him the first Portuguese player in the club's history - sending his career off towards a place in the history books.
This is the 11th signature boot for Cristiano Ronaldo, and the third chapter in the story of his football journey, which began in the small home at the Portuguese island of Madeira. From being a young talent with big dreams, to now being one of football's biggest stars, ever!
