Spanish giants Real Madrid celebrate their 122nd birth anniversary on Wednesday, March 6.

On their 122nd anniversary, Real Madrid's all-time top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo congratulated the La Liga giants on social media.
Real Madrid have been named the Best Club of the 20th Century by FIFA while Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably the best player ever to play at the Santiago Bernabeu.

After winning their first five Champions League titles in a row between 1956 and 1960, Real Madrid registered a UCL hat trick after winning the titles in 2016, 2017, and 2018. The Portuguese star, who won four of his five Ballon d'Or awards at Real Madrid, was an unstoppable force during the Spanish club's UCL-winning run.
On the completion of 122 years for Real Madrid, Ronaldo took to Instagram and shared a picture of himself from the 2017-18 season, holding the UCL trophy. Cristiano captioned, "Congratulations for these 122 years of history, Madridista family! Hala Madrid!"
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo returned to action against UAE club Al-Ain after serving a one-match ban following his antics against Al-Shabab fans, who mocked the Portuguese with Lionel Messi chants. However, Saudi Pro League giants Al-Nassr lost the game against Al-Ain 1-0 in the first leg of their AFC Champions League quarter-final clash on Monday, March 4. Ronaldo's Al-Nassr will host Al-Ain in the return leg next week and will look to qualify for the ACL semi-final.
