I’ve always performed for my family and for you, from the streets of Madeira to the world’s largest stages, and today 1 billion of us stand together. You have supported me through all the highs and lows along the journey. Together, we have demonstrated that there are no boundaries to what we can do on this journey, which is our adventure.
I appreciate your support, belief in me, and presence in my life. We’ll keep working hard, succeeding, and creating history as a team; the best is still to come,” Ronaldo posted on social media.
