what number is cristiano ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo has worn several jersey numbers throughout his career, including No. 28, 9, 11, 17, and 7. His first jersey number was No. 28, which he wore when he broke into the Sporting Lisbon first team from the youth setup in 2002. He wore No. 7 during his time at Manchester United, where he made the shirt his own and helped the team win the Premier League three times and the UEFA Champions League once. When he moved to Real Madrid, he wore No. 9 during his debut season as his usual No. 7 was unavailable. After Raúl departed the club, Ronaldo was handed the No. 7 shirt. He has continued to wear No. 7 during his time at Juventus and Al-Nassr FC. The number 7 has become synonymous with Ronaldo, and he has turned his name and digit into an international brand, known as CR7.
