Cristiano Ronaldo hits ‘Siuu’ after winning the special UEFA award 

UEFA gave Cristiano Ronaldo an exclusive award, which he gladly displayed during the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League draw. At the Monaco event, which was attended by several dignitaries and officials from European teams, the famed forward was the guest of honour.

The evening's high point was the unveiling of a revised draw system. Unlike the past league system, which substitutes the conventional group stage for teams now set to play eight matches instead of six.

Ronaldo also attracted notice when he was named the all-time Champions League top goalscorer with an award. His reputation in the sport is still unparalleled, even though he now plays for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia and no longer participates in Europe. Given the fact that he is 39 years old. He has always been a top performer in the competition. 

Cristiano Ronaldo's outstanding record of 140 goals in 183 UEFA Champions League matches seems almost perfect in spite of the new structure alterations. UEFA's account on X shared a video of him rejoicing with his trademark "Siuuuu!" yell, as seen below. He was given a special award in honour of this accomplishment.

Cristiano Ronaldo has played for Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus in the UEFA Champions League. Over his career, he obtained the trophy five times: once with Manchester United in 2008 and four times with Real Madrid in 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018.
