It was 21 years ago that Ronaldo's legacy at Real Madrid began. His first match in the Madrid shirt took place at the Santiago Bernabéu against Alavés and has since remained engraved in the memory of all madridistas. He only needed one minute on the pitch to score the first of his 104 goals as a Real Madrid player. The striker then found the back of the net again in that game to round off his perfect debut with a brace.

Ronaldo was with Real Madrid until the start of 2007 and helped win 1 Intercontinental Cup, in which he was voted man of the match, 2 La Liga titles and 1 Spanish Super Cup. In addition, as a Real Madrid player he was the top scorer in La Liga 2003/04. Throughout his career he also won 2 Ballon d'Or and 2 World Cups, trophies that make him one of the greatest strikers in history.
