He had one of the best times in football history while he played for Real Madrid. Fans of football will always remember how hard they fought against Lionel Messi and FC Barcelona.
Ronaldo hasn’t played for Real Madrid in over six years. The club now has a new group of children playing. Most of them never played with the Portuguese star, but they looked up to him as kids.
The player Vinicius Junior is one of these. A story from GOAL said that Ronaldo recently sent the Brazilian his shirt from the game between Portugal and Lichtenstein.
Ronaldo sends a present to the Real Madrid star
Many times over the years, Vinicius has been open about how much he admires Ronaldo. The Portuguese great is even painted on the wall of his gym, along with Ronaldo Nazario, Pele, Kobe Bryant, Kobe James, and Michael Jordan.
It’s interesting that Vinicius now wears the famous Real Madrid number 7 shirt that Ronaldo used to wear. The last two holders, Mariano Diaz and Eden Hazard did not live up to the hype and carry on the jersey’s tradition. It seems like the Brazilian will do a much better job.
Vinicius is out right now because he hurt himself while traveling with the Brazil national team. He will probably not be able to play for about two months.
