Ronaldo, who will play for another Champions League title later this month with Real Madrid, and other veterans like Joao Moutinho, Nani, Pepe, Ricardo Carvalho and Ricardo Quaresma are joined by younger talents William Carvalho and Renato Sanches, the latter of which just moved to Bayern Munich from Benfica in a $40 million transfer
