No, Cristiano Ronaldo did not wear the number 9 shirt for Real Madrid. He wore the number 7 jersey throughout his time with the Spanish club.
During his time at Real Madrid (2009-2018), Ronaldo consistently wore the number 7 shirt, a number he also wore for Manchester United in his first stint. This number became synonymous with him, and he even wore it for Portugal at the international level.
While some players like Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuaín wore the number 9 for Real Madrid during Ronaldo's tenure, Ronaldo himself never sported the number.
Here are some other notable players who wore the number 9 shirt for Real Madrid:
- Fernando Morientes
- Ruud van Nistelrooy
- Gonzalo Higuaín
- Karim Benzema
Therefore, Ronaldo's association with Real Madrid is primarily linked to the number 7 jersey, not the number 9.
