Perhaps due to the team's shaky form, the Portuguese ace chose not to throw a big party to celebrate his birthday.

Real Madrid's all-time top scorer celebrates his 33rd birthday today, but contrary to other years, Cristiano Ronaldo chose to take it easy and didn't throw a big party.

A few years ago, his birthday was cause for controversy due to the team's poor form at the moment. Right now, with the team 19 points away from Barcelona, and with a tough match against PSG ahead, the Portuguese striker kept it simple and had a private celebration.

However, the Portuguese ace didn't forget about his fans, and thanked them for their birthday wishes with a picture on Twitter with a tiny cake.
