Portugal is preparing to release a new commemorative Euro coin in honor of Cristiano Ronaldo’s extraordinary football career. According to journalist Carol Radull, the decision to mint the coin celebrates the 39-year-old’s incredible achievements for both club and country over the years.
Ronaldo’s career has spanned some of the biggest clubs in world football, including Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, and he is currently making waves in Saudi Arabia.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, Cristiano Ronaldo holds the record for the most goals scored in men’s international football, with 132 goals in 214 appearances for Portugal.
He played a pivotal role in helping Portugal win their first major international tournament, Euro 2016, and later added the UEFA Nations League trophy to his list of accolades in 2019. The four-time European Golden Shoe winner has also amassed a massive global following, becoming the first person to reach 1 billion followers across various social media platforms.
Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo surpassed the 900-goal mark in his career, continuing to set new milestones despite his age. Beginning his career at Sporting CP, he rose to global fame at Manchester United, and his iconic No. 7 shirt has become synonymous with his legacy.
Portugal is reportedly set to issue a 7 Euro coin in tribute to Ronaldo’s achievements, with the number chosen to reflect the jersey number he has worn for most of his career.
