CR7
CR7 is a fashion boutique that Cristiano Ronaldo opened along with one of his sisters.
CR7 obviously comes from his initials and the number he used in the Manchester United.
Although the name of the boutique has not changed yet, it was known that Cristiano Ronaldo registered
the name CR9 as a possible change in the name due to the number he got in the Real Madrid.
The number 7 was not available at the Real Madrid as it is the number of the institutional Raúl Gonzalez a player
hired for life in the Real Madrid.
