Last year, Cristiano Ronaldo bid farewell to European football by joining Al Nasr.
While Ronaldo still impressed in the Saudi Pro League, his best years were shredded in the European League.
Perhaps his best years were at Real Madrid, where the global superstar won four Champions League trophies and two La Liga titles.
The Portuguese superstar played 438 games for Real Madrid, scoring 450 goals and providing 131 assists.
But he sang his final swansong for the Spanish giants in 2018, when he played his final game for the club in a 3-1 win over Liverpool in the Champions League final.
Ronaldo moved to Juventus the following summer after winning his fifth career Champions League title and ending his time in Madrid.
Nearly five years later, SunSport looks back at where his team-mates are now on that day…
Caleb Navas
Navas was playing for Real Madrid that day and, similar to Ronaldo, he didn’t stay long.
The 36-year-old left the club in 2019 to join PSG, where he remained number one for three seasons before the arrival of Gianluigi Donnarumma.
After struggling for game time last season, he was loaned out to Nottingham Forest and since returning to Paris he has made a ready addition to the French club’s bench.

Danny Carvajal
Carvajal remains at the Bernabeu and has been with the team for a long time. ten years.
The Spaniard has missed just two La Liga games for Carlo Ancelotti’s side this season.
Raphael Varane
One of two players who played for Manchester Red that day.
Varane joined Manchester United in 2021 and has struggled for form and game time this season under Erik ten Hag.
Sergio Ramos
Like Keylor Navas, Ramos joined PSG from Real Madrid in the summer of 2021.
Now 37, he returns to his boyhood club Sevilla on a controversial free transfer in the twilight of his career.
Marcelo
After 15 years at Real Madrid, Marcelo joined Greek club Olympiacos on a free transfer in 2022.
The move to the historic club was a nightmare as injuries plagued him and he was sacked after just five months and ten appearances.
Now, the 35-year-old player has returned to his native Brazil to play for Fluminense.
Casemiro
Another on the list heads to Dream Theater in search of pastures new.
A huge transfer fee of £60 million has put huge pressure on the 31-year-old, but he has performed well in his first season with the Red Devils.
Now, he, like the rest of United’s squad, is struggling to find his rhythm and has been in and out of the team this season.
Luka Modric
Modric is one of the best midfielders of this generation and despite being 38 years old, he still holds his own in the Real Madrid squad.
He won the Ballon d’Or in 2018 after leading Croatia to the World Cup final and is now an experienced manager of a young Real Madrid side.
Toni Cross
Just like Modric, Toni Kroos remains part of the squad in the Spanish capital.
Young players like Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Chuameni and Arda Guler are lucky to follow Kroos and Modric.
Isco
Isco went through a brief period where it looked like his once promising career had ended prematurely.
The midfielder left the Bernabeu to join Sevilla in 2022, but left the same season after 19 appearances.
Despite being a free agent, there was no offer to sign him for more than seven months before Real Betis threw him a lifeline this summer.
The 31-year-old Isco has made 17 appearances this season and is the main player for Betis.
Karim Benzema
Another Ballon d’Or winner, Benzema, has the most similar career to Ronaldo of the players on the list.
The Frenchman played for Real Madrid for 14 years before jumping to Saudi Arabia to join Al-Ittihad and compete with Ronaldo for the league’s Golden Boot.
Benzema gets coverage £3.3m per week In the Middle East, he made 14 appearances for his new team, scoring nine goals.
