To the Legend Who Turned Football into Poetry Dear Cristiano, Thank you for turning football into poetry, for making stadiums tremble with your magical feet, and for teaching generations to dream without limits. As you bid farewell to the Portugal jersey, you leave behind more than records, goals and trophies. You leave a legacy etched in the hearts of millions, especially Malayalis, for whom football is not merely a game but a way of life. You proved to the world that extraordinary hard work, unwavering determination and the courage to rise after every fall can take an ordinary person to extraordinary heights. Your fighting spirit has inspired millions of young minds to dream bigger and never surrender. In the muddy playgrounds of our villages, countless children chased dreams inspired by your iconic number 7. Every goal, every victory and even every tear of yours became a part of our own emotions. We may no longer witness your brilliance in Portuguese colours, but you will forever remain in the hearts of those who fell in love with football through you. Thank you, Cristiano, for the magic, the memories and the dreams. You may have left the international stage, but legends like you never leave our hearts. Once a legend, forever an inspiration. @Cristiano #CristianoRonaldo #CR7 #VDSatheesan
