On October 15, 2019, Cristiano Ronaldo achieved a remarkable milestone in his illustrious football career by scoring his 700th goal. His love, Georgina Rodriguez, marked the occasion with a unique and humorous tribute.
Georgina photoshopped Ronaldo's face onto a James Bond pose, complete with a gun pointed towards the sky and the number 700 written in a stylized font. She added a starstruck emoji and a love heart above the image, captioning it with the phrase "Se dice pronto... @Cristiano" in Spanish, which translates to "To say something soon" in English.
The photo was a clever representation of Ronaldo's impressive goal-scoring record, which includes 5 goals for Sporting Lisbon, 118 for Manchester United, 450 for Real Madrid, and 32 for Juventus. His strike against Ukraine in a Euro 2020 qualifier made it 95 goals for his country.
Earlier in the year, Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon had shared a story about his conversation with Ronaldo after the Portuguese star scored an overhead kick in 2018. Buffon had asked Ronaldo how old he was, and Ronaldo replied, "Not bad for a 33-year-old, right?" as quoted by Marca.
Georgina's creative tribute to Ronaldo's 700th goal has been widely shared on social media, showcasing the love and admiration between the couple.
