🇪🇸 Cristiano Ronaldo's Forgotten Number at Real Madrid

-
📝 The One Match Cristiano Ronaldo Didn't Wear No. 7 or No. 9 for Real Madrid
When you think of Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid, two jersey numbers come to mind: No. 9, which he briefly wore when he first arrived, and the iconic No. 7, which became his legacy.

But there was one game — one symbolic night — where Cristiano wore No. 11.

🔙 The Story Behind It
It happened during Raúl’s farewell match, a tribute to the club legend and former captain. At the time:

Benzema had already claimed the No. 9 shirt.

Raúl, of course, still held the sacred No. 7.

Ronaldo, in a rare moment, was handed No. 11 for the game.


Though it seemed like just a number switch, the occasion carried weight far beyond what fans could see on the team sheet.

📸 The Moment That Changed Everything
At the end of the match, Raúl approached Cristiano and handed him his No. 7 jersey — a gesture loaded with symbolism.

It wasn't just a gift.
It was a message:
"You're next."

Cristiano Ronaldo would go on to wear the No. 7 shirt for Real Madrid with honor, rewriting record books, winning countless trophies, and cementing himself as one of the greatest players in football history.

  🇨🇲 Bryan Mbeumo Could Miss Six Man United Games If £60m Transfer Is Completed Manchester United's hunt for attacking reinforcements has seen them heavily linked with Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo, in what could be a £60 million transfer. But before fans get too excited about the Cameroonian’s arrival, there’s a crucial detail to consider — AFCON 2025. 🗓️ AFCON 2025 Set to Clash With Premier League Fixtures The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) will take place from 21 December 2025 to 18 January 2026 in Morocco.

Ruben Amorim

Ruben Amorim is doing exactly what Manchester United have needed for a very long time — he came to build a fortress. In just six months, the shift in culture at Manchester United is unmistakable. No more excuses, no more passengers, no more short-term thinking.  This is a manager who’s already done more cleaning, correcting, and constructing than we’ve seen in a decade. And he’s only just getting started. He’s banished toxicity. Humbled egos. Out-thought big-name managers. Demanded total control. All with a squad that barely suits his style.  Yet we’ve held 48% possession vs. Man City, 47% vs. Liverpool, and 49% vs. Arsenal — all while using a broken squad that doesn’t even fully fit the system. Give him a proper summer. Give him players that match his vision. Then watch.❤️✌️ @olango Junior @Manchester United.
