Cristiano Ronaldo surprises many as he has claimed just 4 national championships in 16 years, even though he has been a constant goal scorer with outstanding performance.
After more than a decade at the top level, Cristiano Ronaldo is currently going through a rare period without team trophies, despite keeping up an impressive scoring record.
Statistics reveal a surprising fact, that since 2010, the Portuguese superstar has only won 4 domestic league titles. The last time Ronaldo stood on the national league champion's podium was in 2020 with Juventus. Since then, CR7’s quest for trophies has faced many challenges.
This season in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo and Al Nassr made history with a 10-game winning streak. However, the team has now slipped to second place in the standings, 7 points behind Al Hilal, making the championship hopes increasingly distant.
Notably, since joining Al Nassr, Ronaldo has been the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League. Nevertheless, his outstanding individual achievements have not translated into any major trophies. Both domestically and in the AFC competitions, CR7’s team has failed, despite him consistently ranking among the leading scorers.
Ronaldo’s story once again highlights that football is a team sport. No matter how great an individual’s talent is, it sometimes isn’t enough to bring home prestigious trophies.
Although his number of domestic league titles is limited, Cristiano Ronaldo’s career is still regarded as legendary and undeniable. The Portuguese star has played 1304 matches, scored 959 goals, and provided 260 assists, standing out with 5 Champions League titles and 5 Ballon d’Or awards, plus historic achievements such as winning Euro 2016 with Portugal and twice lifting the UEFA Nations League trophy.
