Ronaldo reached a century of Premier League goals when he scored against Arsenal in April.
Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly been given £10,000 by the Premier League for a charity donation after joining their 100 goal club.
As per Sportsmail, the English top-flight league donated the five-figure sum to be given to good causes in Ronaldo’s name, which the 37-year-old generously matched in order to make the donation total £20,000.
The Portuguese international reached a century of Premier League goals when he bagged in the Red Devils’ 3-1 loss to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in April.
Ronaldo has opted to donate the money to children’s charities—one of which is Rays of Sunshine, an organization that supports children suffering from serious or life-limiting illnesses.
While the Premier League are thought to have made similar gestures to players to mark special achievements in the past – and intended to keep them private – Sportsmail add that Ronaldo’s reaching the 100 goal mark was deemed worthy of note.
