Ronaldo joked about playing top football at 50 years old.

When asked about his retirement plan, the superstar born in 1985 said: “I will retire when I feel my legs get tired, maybe in 10 years. I am the number one scorer in the world this year.” I’m so proud that at the age of 39, I can still defeat a “monster” like Erling Haaland.”

“I like the feeling of being criticized, then proving myself with my performance on the field. To me, ridicule and criticism have no meaning,” the 38-year-old star declared.

In addition, the former Man Utd star also affirmed that the current Saudi Pro League is a better tournament than Ligue 1 (France): “The current SPL is a tournament with higher professional quality and competition than Ligue 1. I sure about this. This is also what I declared a year ago, when I came to Al Nassr”.

“I am happy to join Al Nassr in realizing the ambition of bringing SPL into the top 3 leagues in the world. This process will take a long time but everything is moving in the right direction. The people of Saudi Arabia will definitely be confident. Proud of what we have done, are doing and will do,” the Portuguese superstar added.

“This season, Man City is still a candidate for the European championship, but besides that, there are still competitors such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich,…”, CR7 added.
