One of the greatest footballers to ever grace the pitch, Cristiano Ronaldo has recently hinted at his impending retirement. At 39 years old, the Portuguese superstar has amassed an incredible 904 career goals, a testament to his enduring talent and dedication.
Despite his age, Ronaldo continues to perform at a high level, currently playing for Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr, where he has added 64 goals and 17 assists in just 71 games.

In a recent statement, Ronaldo expressed his awareness of the limited time he has left in professional football. "I'm just enjoying playing football now as I know I don't have much time left on the pitch," he said.
This sentiment was echoed in multiple interviews and articles, where he emphasized that his focus has shifted from individual accolades to team success. "It is not important to me now to be the best player or to win awards. What matters to me now is enjoying myself and helping my team."
Ronaldo's illustrious career has seen him play for some of the world's top clubs, including Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus. He has also been a pivotal figure for the Portuguese national team, scoring 132 goals in 214 caps. His goal-scoring prowess is unmatched, holding records for the most goals in the UEFA Champions League (140), UEFA European Championship (14), and FIFA Club World Cup (7).
Despite a disappointing Euro 2024 campaign, where he failed to score for Portugal, Ronaldo remains optimistic about his contributions to the game. "I still have plenty to give," he insisted, highlighting his commitment to maintaining his physical condition and extending his career for a few more years. "I give everything, to 40, 41, it doesn't matter. I give my body for 25 years of football and I cannot give more because age doesn't allow to go further."
Ronaldo's reflections on his career and future were deeply personal, particularly when he dedicated a recent goal to his late father, José, who passed away in 2005. "I'm going to miss the adrenaline of scoring a goal, and the feeling of being nervous," he admitted. "I think I'm going to miss that because in other parts of my life, I can control that."
