On Monday, Portugal honored its football hero and icon, the legendary Cristiano with the prestigious Platinum Quinas trophy at the Quinas de Ouro ceremony.
The Portuguese Football Federation presents the Platinum Quinas trophy, and it is the highest accolade in Portuguese football.
The award recognized Ronaldo’s exceptional career and enduring legacy as a symbol of Portugal on the international stage.
This year’s gala saw prominent attendees, including Portugal’s Prime Minister Luís Montenegro and FPF President Fernando Gomes.
Ronaldo said: “It is an honour to receive this trophy. I see it as a beginning. Thank you to the FPF for this award, marking a long journey filled with hard work."
He added: “I can’t wait to see what my legs have to offer me in the next few years. If the 1000th goal comes, that’s fine… but if it doesn’t happen, I’m already the top scorer in history.”
