The most shocking transfer in history! Why did Ronaldo insist on going to Real Madrid?

After five years at Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo finally reached the first peak of his club career in the summer of 2008. Holding the Champions League and Premier League titles, winning the best player in the Premier League for a second time, and holding the Ballon d'Or that year, Cristiano at this time can be described as a fresh and angry horse, and the spring breeze is proud. In this year, Ronaldo not only proved his strength, but also won the hearts of fans around the world. His speed, technique and shooting ability are unmatched, and every time he takes the pitch, he brings endless anticipation and surprises to the audience. Cristiano Ronaldo has become a superstar in football, and his name is resounding in every corner of the world.

But that summer, the complacent Ronaldo once again had the idea of going to La Liga to face Messi. Perhaps the name Real Madrid has a special attraction for every Latin player from the Iberian Peninsula and even around the world, or perhaps it was the Champions League semi-final that did not personally kill Messi's Barca, Ronaldo was determined to have a showdown with Manchester United and seek a transfer after playing Euro 08 with Portugal as an absolute main force. La Liga has always been known for its high-level competition and fierce competition, and the showdown between Real Madrid and Barcelona is the focus of the world's attention. Cristiano Ronaldo knows that only on such a stage can he truly realize his football dream and reach the peak of his career.

At that time, Real Madrid had been missing the Champions League for 7 years, and if Ronaldo joined, it would be tantamount to a two-way rush that each other needed. Real Madrid's history and brilliant results have fascinated countless players, and the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo will inject new vitality and hope into the team. Cristiano Ronaldo mobilized the whole family to build momentum, his mother and sister took turns to play, the old lady even said "If my son can't play for Real Madrid, I won't die", and Ronaldo himself postponed his return to Manchester United on the grounds of knee surgery. Real Madrid have also gone out of their way to express their desire for Cristiano Ronaldo, who are willing to pay a record transfer fee for the superstar to ensure he can wear the white shirt of Real Madrid.

But Sir Alex Ferguson, who has just won his second Champions League, naturally refuses to give up, and the old Scottish man on the one hand released cruel words to the outside world that "I will not sell a virus to Real Madrid", and on the other hand, he comforted and promised the top name of the team who loves him very much. Ferguson is well aware of Ronaldo's potential and value, and he is not willing to let go of such a talented player easily. As a result, Ferguson had a number of private conversations with Ronaldo in an attempt to convince him to stay at Manchester United. In the end, Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo reached a gentleman's agreement in private: Ronaldo will stay with the club for another season to help Manchester United and Alex Ferguson seek to defend their Champions League titles, and Manchester United will give him the green light to transfer in the next summer window.

Cristiano Ronaldo did not break his promise, and after returning to the pitch after recovering from his knee injury, he showed a more professional, more diligent and more consistent performance. The addition of Bulgaria center Berbatov has made Manchester United form a "four-headed monster" in the front of Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez and Beba, and the tactics of anti-counter + running and bombing have made Manchester United's offensive sharpness to a new level, Ronaldo can focus on becoming the team's arrow, and one goal after another is the best reward he gave to Ferguson. Manchester United's attacking system has become more and more mature under the leadership of Cristiano Ronaldo, and every run, every breakthrough, and every shot on goal is like composing a gorgeous music, which makes the audience immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.

In the 08-09 season, Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United have more mature performances, and after playing more closely to the style of continental Europe, Manchester United gives the opponent a desperate sense of powerlessness, and Ronaldo is the most bloodthirsty fangs when the snake spits letters. His every touch was a threat, and every attack he made his opponents scare. After overcoming a knee injury, Cristiano Ronaldo helped Manchester United lose just one game in 24 league games, and Manchester United quickly took the initiative in the league title race. In the Champions League, Manchester United also reached the knockout stage with an unbeaten record in the group stage. Cristiano Ronaldo's performance is not only in the offensive end, but also his aggressive scrambling and chasing back on the defensive end has also benefited the team, and he has demonstrated the value of a top player with his all-round performance.

Entering the second half of the season, Cristiano Ronaldo began to take over the team's attack, and even the hope of taking over Manchester United's season. In the Champions League round of 16 against Inter Milan, Ronaldo stunned Adriano and Ibrahimovic on the opposite side with a wonderful header; In the second leg of the quarterfinals at the Dragon Stadium in Porto, Ronaldo's thunderous shot from 40 meters away helped Manchester United advance, and later won the Puskas Award that year; In the semi-finals at the Emirates Stadium, Cristiano Ronaldo once again beat goalkeeper Almunia with his signature heavy elevator free-kick, and scored a brace through a classic Manchester United-style quick counter-attack, helping Manchester United stand on the field of the Champions League final again, this time against Messi and his Barcelona, who are also hungry for the Big Ears Cup.

With the triumph of the Premier League and the Carabao Cup, Ronaldo and Messi met in the final for the first time. Although it is only one season apart, many changes have already taken place for both men. Ronaldo has more Beba by his side, and his former teammate Pique has returned to Messi, who is also Barcelona's 87 golden generation. At the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, the curtain slowly opened. Cristiano Ronaldo was extremely active in the opening stages, first using a free-kick opportunity to create a chance for Park Ji-sung to create a follow-up shot, and then a low shot from inside the box in the eighth minute almost tested Valdés, but no one could have imagined that this would be the last flash of the final between Ronaldo and Manchester United. The game was in the rhythm of Barcelona's game, and in the 10th minute, Samuel Eto'o opened the scoring when he bounced past Nemanja Vidic from a pass from Andres Iniesta, and United's plans to get off to a starting point were shattered, leaving the rest of the game struggling.

When Messi, who is only 1.7m tall, headed Xavi's cross into the far corner from behind Rio Ferdinand in the 70th minute, Barcelona became another treble-winning team in European football. The broadcast camera focused on Ronaldo's face after the game, and at that moment, unwillingness and frustration were written all over the Portugal's expression. At this time, Ronaldo only had one thought left in his mind: go to Real Madrid and defeat Messi and Barcelona! He clearly knows that only in competition with the strongest opponents can he truly prove his strength and leave a stronger mark in the history of football.

This idea quickly fermented after the game and became Ronaldo's only goal. He knew very well that if he wanted to achieve his dream, he would have to leave Manchester United and go to La Liga to compete with Messi. As a result, Ronaldo began to actively operate his own transfer matters. His agency team had several contacts with the Real Madrid hierarchy and the two sides agreed on a number of details. Real Madrid are also pushing for the move, and they are willing to pay a record fee for Cristiano Ronaldo to ensure the superstar can wear the white shirt of Real Madrid.

In the summer of 2009, Manchester United and Real Madrid finally reached an agreement on the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo. On July 6, 2009, Real Madrid announced the official signing of Cristiano Ronaldo for a record transfer fee of 94 million euros. The news shook the entire football world and marked the dawn of a new era.

At the welcome ceremony at the Bernabeu, Ronaldo excitedly shouted "Hala Madrid", announcing the beginning of his new journey. Real Madrid fans have high hopes for the new signing, and they are looking forward to Cristiano Ronaldo leading the team back to the top.
