A phenomenal talent unlike any other, Cristiano Ronaldo made his triumphant debut for Sporting CP in 2002-03, netting a brace on his debut for the Lisbon club. A strong performance in his rookie campaign led to a move to England, with Manchester United, where “CR7” began to showcase his immense and prodigious skills on a global stage. One of the greatest goalscorers of all-time, Ronaldo’s legacy as a champion was built through five Champions League titles with United and Real Madrid, as well as numerous league titles in England, Spain, and Italy. Offered in this lot are six unopened packs of Panini “Mega Craques” cards from 2002-03, manufactured in Italy and distributed in Portugal, as well as a bonus pack from the 2004-05 season! Ronaldo shines on the front of the packs next to the iconic Porto and Barcelona midfielder Deco, as well as a diving goalkeeper and an additional pair of outfield players. Rare Ronaldo rookie cards possibly reside in the 2002-03 packs, while additional greats in the 2002-03 set include Deco, Ricardo Rocha, Ricardo Quaresma, and more. Several Portuguese footballers playing elsewhere in Europe, such as Luis Figo and Abel Xavier, are also included in this “Mega Craques” set. Each pack contains six trading cards and is unopened.
