Ronaldo hands back Portugal's No. 7 after 23 years. Can anyone ever replicate his legacy?

On Thursday, 5 November, Cristiano Ronaldo announced in a video message that he is retiring from international football. "To the Portuguese people, the day has come for me to hand back the No. 7 shirt of our national team," he said - a journey that began in August 2003, when he came on for Luís Figo in a friendly against Kazakhstan. He is still playing club football for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia.

For Portugal

• 234 caps - the most in men's international football, and he was the first man to reach 200.

• 146 goals - the men's international scoring record.

• Six World Cups, and the first man to score in six of them.

• Euro 2016 - Portugal's first major trophy - and the Nations League in 2019 and 2025.

• Record totals at the Euros: 30 appearances and 14 goals.

• He scored for Portugal in 23 consecutive calendar years.

For his clubs

• Five Ballon d'Or awards.

• Five Champions League titles - one with Manchester United (2008) and four with Real Madrid - and the competition's all-time top scorer.

• League titles in England, Spain and Italy, with Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus.

• About 985 official career goals so far, and he is chasing 1,000.

Football has changed since 2003: more matches, more data, more money, earlier specialisation and more injuries. Will another player ever put together a career like this one - this many goals, this many trophies, at this level for this long?
