7 years of goals for the number 7
Today, 29 August 2016, marks the seventh anniversary of Cristiano Ronaldo's first Real Madrid goal. Deportivo were the victims on that day in 2009 as he scored from the penalty spot and the Portugal man then went on to do what no other Madrid player had done - score in his first four league games. Back then, Cristiano was wearing the number nine shirt as club legend Raúl wore the number seven until he left for Germany at which point it was handed over.
Ronaldo return
As has already been indicated, the expected competitive return date for Cristiano is set for Saturday, September 10, for the home game against Osasuna and yesterday the player was working hard in the gym. With the international break now with us - one in which he will not be involved for Portugal - Madrid fans can look forward to seeing their number seven feature in the next league game.
