Cristiano Ronaldo wore the number 9 shirt during his debut 2009-10 season at Real Madrid because his preferred number 7 was already taken by club captain and legend Raúl González. As a mark of respect for Raúl’s legacy, Ronaldo accepted the available number 9 jersey.
As his usual number 7 was unavailable, Ronaldo wore number 9 during his debut season at Madrid. After Raúl departed the club, Ronaldo was handed the number 7 shirt before the 2010–11 season. Ahead of the 2009–10 season, Ronaldo joined Real Madrid for a world record transfer fee at the time of £80 million (€94 million).
Positioned closest to the opponent's goal, a Number Nine is there to pounce on chances, outsmart defenders, and deliver moments of pure magic in the final third. All the greats over the years have worn the famous Nine shirt.

Real Madrid's iconic number 9 shirt is currently worn by young Brazilian sensation Endrick, who took it over after Kylian Mbappé switched to number 10, joining a legendary lineage that includes Karim Benzema, Ronaldo Nazário, and Alfredo Di Stéfano. The decision to give the number to Endrick, rather than academy graduate Gonzalo García, marked a new chapter for the prestigious jersey.
