Bengaluru, Nov 8: Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real Madrid in 2009 for a then world record transfer fee of £80m from Manchester United.

Real Madrid were looking for a turnaround in their fate after half a decade of constant failure. They made a major overhauling of their squad which included the arrival of Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid has won 1 La Liga, 2 Copa Del Rays, 1 club World Cup and of course 2 UEFA Champions League.

During his stay, the Portuguese superstar has bagged 2 FIFA Ballon d'Or awards and has now become arguably the best player in the club's history as well as in the world.

Yesterday, November 7, Cristiano Ronaldo signed a fresh contract extension with the club which would keep him at Santiago Bernabeu until 2021.

After signing the contract extension, the star said that he would love to play football until the age of 41 and given his fitness and physical abilities on the pitch, the idea seems pretty realistic.

Here are 5 memorable moments of Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid career:
