Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid stint is still fresh in fans' memories. He came to the club from Manchester United when Barcelona was the dominant force in Spanish and European football. Ronaldo left after winning three back-to-back UEFA Champions League titles.
Ronaldo joined Juventus in 2018. The legendary Portuguese recently revealed the discussions with Florentino Perez at the time of his departure. He said:
Yes, it exhausted me because Perez had agreed that I would leave but then he did not treat me well, and I could not back down because I gave Juventus my word and Perez wanted to come back, it was a long story.

Ronaldo added about his Real Madrid stint:
When I was at Real Madrid, I remember that when I missed a chance or a penalty, I would get really angry with myself. I didn't allow myself to make mistakes. I would go to bed without eating dinner and talk to myself, wondering why I shot to the right or why not to the left. I do not regret that I was that person.
