Cristiano Ronaldo was thrilled to get an award for scoring the most goals in Champions League history.

In this game, Ronaldo has scored 140 goals. He was given the award before the first League Phase draw in Monaco.

He said, “For me, it’s a pleasure to be here,” after getting the award from UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin. I’m very grateful for this award. The records show that the Champions League is the best football game, but it’s also an honor to play in it. It’s great to be here. This gala in Monaco always makes me think of good times. 

Ronaldo has good memories of the Champions League, even though he is not playing in it now that he is with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. 

That’s what life is all about, and I have some great ones. Let’s find out what comes next. The first one is always brought up because it’s the most important. Back when I was in Manchester, I scored in the final but missed a chance. It was so exciting.  

He said that Ronaldo won the Champions League with Manchester United in 2008 when the Red Devils beat Chelsea in the final on penalties.

It was with Real Madrid that he won it four times, in 2013–14, 2015–16, 2016–17, and 2017–18.

He also played for Juventus in the Champions League.

Lionel Messi, who has played against Cristiano Ronaldo all his career, has scored 129 goals, making him the second-best scorer in the history of the Champions League.

Third place goes to Robert Lewandowski of Barcelona, who has scored 94 goals.
