When it all ends, Cristiano Ronaldo will go down as one of the top soccer players of all time; he might be the GOAT if not for the contemporary presence of Lionel Messi.
Both megastars are now well past 34 years of age but are still showing some of the magic that made them famous, both for their clubs (Al Nassr and Inter Miami) and their countries (Portugal and Argentina).
For CR7, who recently began and received multiple awards for his YouTube channel, the curtain is not over yet. In a recent interview with the Portuguese channel NOW, Cristiano Ronaldo discussed retirement and his status with the Portuguese national team.

In the interview, CR7 stated, “I don’t know if it will happen soon. Two or three years (on retirement).” Ronaldo continued, “I don’t know; maybe I will retire with Al Nassr. I am in good shape in Saudi Arabia and in this league. Most likely, I will retire here. I am very happy to play in the Saudi League, and I want to continue.”
