Congratulations poured out to Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo from clubs and most of the major European leagues on the occasion of his 38th birthday, which falls on the fifth day of February, despite his departure from European stadiums and his current presence with the Saudi club Al-Nasr.
It seems that what Ronaldo did in Europe will not be easily forgotten, as he achieved many collective and individual titles with Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus clubs, and broke many records in European stadiums throughout his career, which is still going on but outside the European continent.
Sporting Lisbon, Portugal, presented a special gift to Ronaldo on the occasion of his birthday, as he gave him a memorial box that contained the team's shirt and some symbolic pieces that were decorated with the image of the "Don" when he was a player for the team.

As for the official account of the European Champions League, he published a picture of Ronaldo with the first "Champions League" title he achieved when he was a player for Manchester United, and congratulated him on his birthday by sharing a video clip of Ronaldo's most beautiful moments in the prestigious European championship in the Red Devils shirt.

And the European Nations Championship account published on Twitter, a video of the most beautiful goals that Ronaldo scored with Portugal in the tournament, commenting on it, “The greatest scorer in the history of international football for men, Cristiano Ronaldo is something else.”
European leagues in which Ronaldo played, such as the Italian League and the Spanish League, also congratulated the Portuguese star on his birthday.
On the Arab and international levels, the official account of the World Cup - affiliated with FIFA - said about the Portuguese on his birthday, "One of the best players in the history of the game ever. Happy birthday, Ronaldo."
The Saudi Football League sent special congratulations to Ronaldo through his official English-speaking account on Twitter.
It is noteworthy that the captain of the Portuguese national team left Europe at the end of last year after terminating his contract with Manchester United by mutual consent before the start of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and the Saudi victory announced his contract with Ronaldo about 10 days after the end of the World Cup.
Cristiano Ronaldo back then.
