THe “Bitchomania” comes with everything. Next year looks like a great epilogue to Cristiano Ronaldo’s career. Cristiano Ronaldo is the modern-day monster of soccer, with Portugal’s national team expected to become world champions and bring his extraordinary story to a spectacular conclusion. According to soccer arguments, if he succeeds, he will become the greatest player of all time, surpassing Pele, Diego Armando Maradona and Lionel Messi.
However, not all success and winning predictions are on the pitch. A global idol and international figure, Cristiano is also an important figure in the country’s social, cultural, political and economic spheres. For many, he is a symbol of the new nation representing Portuguese people abroad. The Bank of Portugal is preparing to issue a commemorative banknote dedicated to Cristiano Ronaldo, in order to honor his contribution to the nation and his accomplishments as a sports professional, in this case football. The face value will be 7 euros and it is expected to be in circulation before the 2026 World Cup.

Note that they have no monetary value on their own. Officially circulated banknotes have symbolic value and are not valid as legal tender. These are released as collectible items, but are distinguished as unique pieces as they bear the Bank of Portugal seal and approval.
Images of the original banknotes have been circulating, but nothing has been defined about the final design. In the circulating version, his face and the legendary “Siuuu” can be seen. Perhaps, since this is a problem with the Bank of Portugal, the letters “Siuuu” will be removed and only his name will be engraved.
Therefore, the excitement caused by Cristiano Ronaldo before participating in the World Cup is one of great expectations and excitement for the possibility of Portugal finally being able to win the crown in the most important national team tournament. One way to encourage the Portugal national team from within the country is through this initiative promoted by the Bank of Portugal, which depicts Bicho’s transcendence beyond soccer on banknotes.
