On July 6, 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo was officially presented as a Real Madrid player in front of approximately 80,000 fans at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. His transfer from Manchester United was a world-record move at the time. During his 16 years at Real Madrid, Ronaldo scored 450 goals in 438 appearances and helped the club win 16 trophies, including four UEFA Champions League titles, three FIFA Club World Cups, three UEFA Super Cups, two La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey trophies, and two Spanish Super Cups. Ronaldo became Real Madrid's all-time top scorer and is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers in the club's history. The 2009 summer also saw Real Madrid sign other notable players such as Karim Benzema, Kaká, and Xabi Alonso. Ronaldo left Real Madrid seven years later in a £95 million deal to join Juventus, where he won two Serie A titles, one Coppa Italia, and two Supercoppa Italiana trophies.
