Cristiano Ronaldo, the footballing idol and club legend, was honored with a new No. 7 pendant by Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Jr. After leaving the team this summer, Eden Hazard gave the 23-year-old the most sought-after No. 7 jersey, which he is wearing for the Galacticos this season.

During his time with Real Madrid from 2009 to 2018, Cristiano Ronaldo played a significant role in making the No. 7 in the team’s history. Raul, another elite football player in his era, had given him the No. 7 jersey at Real Madrid.

One of the numerous athletes who has been influenced by the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is Vinicius Jr., who chose to honor him with a silver pendant engraved with the number “7.” “SIUUU,” the hallmark CR7 celebration, was etched on the pendant’s back.

The entire social media network went into a frenzy when ESPN FC posted images of the jewelry on their official account. The supporters of Vinicius and Ronaldo were eager to express their admiration for their favorite players and went crazy about the No. 7 pendant as well.

Vinicius Jr. discussed what it meant to him to be given the recognizable number at Real Madrid after receiving the No. 7 shirt. “I’m very grateful to wear this jersey that many other great players have worn,” he was quoted as saying on the MARCA website. It is really important to me. I’ve enjoyed that number since I was a young child.

Since I’ve seen every one of Cristiano Ronaldo’s games and he helped usher in a new era at the club, I find inspiration in him. The 23-year-old football player said, “He’s an idol for me.”
