For Real Madrid fans today marks the end of an era...
Cristiano Ronaldo...affectionately known in the Futbol world as CR7...has decided it’s time for him to move on from the club and the city he’s called home for the past 9 years.
In those 9 years Real Madrid claimed 4 Champions League Titles in 5 years....3 of them back-to-back & Ronaldo has been a 4x recipient of the Balloon d’Or, Futbols Highest Honor (he has 5 in total) and won the Golden Shoe 3x’s. To say it’s been a prolific run is an understatement, but according to Cristiano it’s time to “start a new chapter”...
If you’re like me and thinkin...If it AIN’T broke (and clearly it’s not)...then why “fix” it...well the $120million that JUVENTUS threw his way probably made it a little easier to chuck up the deuces...know what I’m saying?!
Oh Yeah...he’s going to the other Futbol Juggernaut...Italy’s Juventus, so Real Madrid fans you’ll be seeing plenty more of Cristiano!
I will say this...he wrote a BEAUTIFUL letter to the fans and the city, thanking them for their love and support and describing what has clearly been a monumental piece of his life-story. The letter has been posted on the Real Madrid website and it's definitely worth the read...
If you can read Spanish (I can’t) his farewell letter is in this @realmadrid IG post...
Of course the fans aren’t the only ones that feel a way about his decision to leave...both current and former teammates like Sergio Ramos & Sami Khedira took to twitter to show love to their futbol brother as well!
While Cristiano will surely be missed, something tells me that Real Madrid isn’t too worried about it’s future, after all, they are REAL MADRID!!!
Bets of Luck Cristiano!!!
PS..Don’t forget to Pay those Taxes Boo!!!!
