The Real Madrid manager Cristiano Ronaldo performed his best for

Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest player in Real Madrid history and arguably the greatest player in the history of world football. He transformed Real Madrid back into the biggest juggernaut in European football, winning four Champions League titles with them after they were in the purgatory of perennial early-round knockout losses. Worth every penny of the 94 million euros Real Madrid spent to sign him from Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo won Champions League titles with two different managers and broke records with five in total. Under Jose Mourinho, Cristiano was a counterattacking menace whose explosiveness was a sight to behold. Then when Carlo Ancelotti rolled into town, Cristiano was settling into a groove as an all-around attacking monster with improving off-ball effi...

Jamal Musiala chooses between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi

Bayern Munich superstar Jamal Musiala is well on his way to becoming a Ballon d'Or winner if he keeps up this insane rate of progression. He has 10 goals and 6 assists in the current Bundesliga campaign and will soon partake in the Champions League semifinals against Real Madrid. There have been so many great battles between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich over the years in the Champions League, and, oftentimes, the Merengue club got the better of the Bavarians, largely thanks to the exploits of the most prolific goal-scorer in the history of the competition, Cristiano Ronaldo. The age-old rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi was before Musiala's time, though the battles between CR7 and LM10 are undoubtedly familiar to the German international.

Ranking the 10 best transfers in Real Madrid history

Nobody makes blockbuster signings quite like Real Madrid. From David Beckham and Zinédine Zidane to Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, Los Blancos have made some of world football's most iconic transfer splashes over the decades, using these superstar signings to mark different eras of the club. But while the Galácticos are known for the glitz and glamor, the most impressive thing about Real Madrid is how sustainably the club has been run over the last decade after president Florentino Pérez learned from his mistakes in his first run.
