About the Cristiano Ronaldo quiz

Cristiano Ronaldo is football's great record-hunter — the man who turned relentless self-improvement into the longest sustained peak the game has seen. This free Ronaldo quiz runs the whole arc: the skinny Sporting Lisbon winger Alex Ferguson signed in 2003, the Manchester United treble-chaser who left as a Ballon d'Or winner, the Real Madrid machine who scored 450 goals in nine seasons, the Juventus gamble, the emotional 2021 return to Old Trafford, and the move to Al-Nassr that opened Saudi football to the world. Five Ballon d'Ors, a European Championship with Portugal in 2016, and — as of 2026 — the status of the all-time top scorer in both men's international football and the recognised game. If you can name the club he scored his 900th goal against, this quiz is for you.

The record book is the story. He is the only player to win league titles in England, Spain and Italy; the only man to reach 100 goals for four different clubs, a milestone he hit at Al-Nassr; and, in February 2026, the first player in history to score 500 career goals after turning 30. He led Al-Nassr to the 2026 Saudi Pro League title and finished the league's top scorer in 2024 and 2025. For Portugal he has more caps and more goals than anyone in men's international history, capped by that header against France in the Euro 2016 final and the 2019 Nations League.

Expect the full spread. Transfers — the then-world-record £80m to Real Madrid in 2009, the £99.2m to Juventus in 2018, the free return to United in 2021. Records — his five Champions League titles, the Ballon d'Or years (2008, and four in five seasons at Madrid), the Champions League all-time scoring mark. And the moments only diehards carry: the bicycle kick against Juventus that earned a standing ovation from the home crowd, the hat-trick against Spain at the 2018 World Cup, the free-kick that opened it. Difficulty climbs from easy (which country does he play for?) to genuinely hard (who did Madrid beat in his first Champions League final there, and where?).

Every question comes with a short explained answer, so even a miss teaches you the detail that makes it stick — why 2016 meant so much despite him limping off injured, or how a release clause set the Juventus move in motion.
