Ronaldo has won the UEFA Champions League five times in his career, winning four with Real Madrid and his first during his time at Manchester United.

During the 2008 final when United played Chelsea, Ronaldo scored the opening goal with a superb header. Chelsea would go on to equalise and force a penalty shootout, where Ronaldo had his attempt saved by Petr Cech. John Terry slipped and hit the post with what would have been the winning kick, Edwin van der Sar then saved Nicolas Anelka's sudden-death penalty, and United were champions of Europe.
