The 39-year-old football superstar stole the spotlight in a white shirt paired with a custom-tailored suit, opting to forgo a tie for a more relaxed look. He wore a single earring with a central diamond surrounded by over 30 smaller diamonds and a teardrop-shaped diamond brooch. His ensemble was completed by a Franck Muller watch adorned with 600 diamonds. Ronaldo has worn this US$1.5 million timepiece on various occasions.

On stage, he expressed excitement at being honored as the all-time leading goalscorer in the Champions League, with 140 goals in 183 matches. He has won the Champions League five times and has been the tournament's top scorer seven times.
