Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined the squad from Manchester United in 2009, was assigned the No. 7 jersey after Raul left in 2010. He went on to become a Real Madrid icon after donning the shirt.

The Portuguese is Los Blancos’ all-time best scorer, with 450 goals in 438 appearances. He was essential in the Spanish giants’ four UEFA Champions League titles, among other things.

Over the years, football stars like Vinicius have drawn inspiration from the five-time Ballon d’Or winner. On the Brazilian winger, a huge silver pendant in the shape of a “7” was recently noticed. On the back of the pendant, there were countless small engravings of Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic ‘SIUUU’ celebration.

On Twitter, fans reacted to Vinicius’ wonderful tribute to the Portuguese ace, with one writing:

The gesture was described as “Nice, Great, for a Living Legend.”

Another supporter commented:

It’s far too cold. CR7″Cristiano Ronaldo has been one of the most instrumental factors in immortalising the No. 7 in Real Madrid.
