In a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid’s rising star Vinicius Jr. has stepped into the spotlight, proudly donning the famous No. 7 shirt. This number, synonymous with greatness at Real Madrid, has previously graced the backs of football titans like Ronaldo and Raul.
The transfer of this iconic jersey to Vinicius came following Eden Hazard’s departure from Los Blancos. Cristiano Ronaldo, a titan of the sport who joined Real Madrid from Manchester United in 2009, previously held the No. 7 after Raul. Ronaldo’s tenure in the shirt was nothing short of spectacular, marking him as a Real Madrid legend.
With an astonishing record of 450 goals in 438 appearances, Ronaldo stands as the all-time leading scorer for Los Blancos. His contributions were pivotal in securing four UEFA Champions League titles for the Spanish giants.
Inspired by Ronaldo’s legacy, current players like Vinicius have paid homage to the five-time Ballon d’Or recipient. Vinicius recently showcased a striking silver pendant, intricately designed with the number “7” and adorned with engravings of Ronaldo’s iconic “SIUUU” celebration.
This poignant gesture by Vinicius has stirred a wave of admiration on social media. Fans have expressed their appreciation, with one noting the tribute as a “Nice, Great, gesture for a Living Legend.” Another admirer commented on the significance of the No. 7 jersey at Real Madrid, now a symbol of Ronaldo’s indelible impact on the game.
