Real Madrid player Vinicius Jr. presented a new No. 7 pendant to the footballing idol and club legend Cristiano Ronaldo. Eden Hazard donated the 23-year-old the highly sought-after No. 7 jersey, which he is sporting for the Galacticos this season, after he left the squad this summer.

Cristiano Ronaldo was instrumental in establishing the No. 7 in Real Madrid’s history during his tenure there, which lasted from 2009 to 2018. At Real Madrid, he had been awarded the No. 7 jersey by Raul, another great football player of his day.

Vinicius Jr., who chose to honor the five-time Ballon d’Or winner with a silver pendant engraved with the number “7,” is one of the many players who have been impacted by him. The back of the pendant was engraved with the iconic CR7 celebration, “SIUUU.”

When ESPN FC shared pictures of the jewelry on their official account, the entire social media network erupted into a frenzy. The No. 7 pendant also caused a stir among Vinicius and Ronaldo’s fans, who were ready to show their love for their favorite players.

After being granted the No. 7 shirt, Vinicius Jr. talked about what it meant to him to be assigned the iconic number at Real Madrid. According to the MARCA website, he said, “I’m very grateful to wear this jersey that many other great players have worn.” It is really significant to me. Ever since I was a small child, I have loved that number.

I look up to Cristiano Ronaldo since I’ve watched all of his games and he helped the team enter a new era. “He’s an idol for me,” the 23-year-old football player stated.
