Ronaldo has received a fair share of red cards throughout his playing career.

During his professional career, the Portuguese player has scored 917 goals, which is an outstanding number. However, he is still subject to punishment despite being the best. As a professional, Cristiano Ronaldo has been sent off 12 times. Four dismissals for double yellow cards and eight direct red cards were issued overall.

With Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Al Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo has been sent off 12 times in his career. With an average of one red card every 102 games, it’s hardly a high figure for someone who has participated in over 1,200 professional games.

His friends nicknamed him a “cry baby” when he was a child on the Portuguese island of Madeira because he frequently broke down in tears when things didn’t go his way.

Ronaldo is considered one of the best football players of all time, and he has had few setbacks during his professional career. There have been some lowlights interspersed with the numerous victories, frequently brought on by an untimely outburst of emotion.

During his first full season with Al Nassr, Real Madrid’s all-time top scorer received his 12th career red card, almost matching the record held by his formidable former Manchester United colleague Roy Keane (13). A more detailed peek at the filthy dozen may be found here.
