Supporters held up sheets of gold paper as the teams entered the field on Saturday, with Ronaldo's four Ballon d'Or trophies laid out on a table.
Ronaldo took his place beside them for a short ceremony, where he was greeted by previous winners and ex-Madrid stars Raymond Kopa, Michael Owen, Luis Figo and former Brazil striker Ronaldo.
Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane was also among their number – the French World Cup winner claimed the Ballon d'Or in 1998 – and Kaka and Fabio Cannavaro sent their congratulations via video messages on the stadium screens.
A smiling Ronaldo then posed for photographs before Madrid kicked off in a bid to extend their club-record unbeaten run to 39 matches, a feat that would pull them level with Barcelona's all-time best mark for a Spanish side.
