Cristiano Ronaldo has suggested that he may be nearing retirement following his latest goal for Al-Nassr.
At 39, Ronaldo is regarded as one of the greatest footballers in history, having netted 904 career goals.
The Portuguese superstar has played for renowned clubs including Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and the Portuguese national team.
Now with Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr, he has contributed 64 goals and 17 assists in just 71 matches.
On Monday night, he scored in Al-Nassr’s 2-1 victory over Qatari side Al-Rayyan in their second AFC Champions League match of the season.
After the game, the veteran forward indicated that he is close to ending his career and emphasized that he is not focused on individual awards.
“I’m just enjoying playing football now, as I know I don’t have much time left on the pitch,” Ronaldo stated. “It’s not important to me to be the best player or win awards. What matters most now is to enjoy the game and help my team.”
For his goal celebration, Ronaldo pointed to the sky, dedicating his goal to his father on what would have been his 71st birthday.
His father, Jose, passed away in 2005 at the age of 52 due to an alcohol-related liver condition when Ronaldo was just 20.
Despite his age, Ronaldo shows no signs of slowing down and has amassed 33 trophies throughout his illustrious career.
