Cristiano Ronaldo has insisted that he is not done with football despite approaching his 39th birthday and has achieved almost everything in the game.
The 38-year-old Portuguese football icon who is currently playing for Al Nassr in the Suadi Pro League had to reaffirm this after scoring two goals against star-studded Al Ahli.
Al Ahli paraded European football icons like Roberto Firmino, Riyad Mahrez, Alex Saint-Maximin, รdouard Mendy, and Franck Kessie.
But it was Al Nassr who had just three major former European stars like Marcelo Brozoviฤ, Sadio Mane, and Cristiano Ronaldo that triumphed in the 7 goals thriller.
In the encounter, Ronaldo and little-known Anderson Talisca scored two goals each for Al Nassr as the game ended 4-3 in favour of Al Nassr.
Ronaldoโs two goals in the game means that the 38-year-old Portuguese football icon has scored 29 goals in 33 games for Al Nassr since he joined the club in January.
Recall that when Manchester United terminated Ronaldoโs contract in November 2022, most of his critics urged him to retire especially after he failed to land a top club in Europe.
But the five-time Ballon dโOr winner has proven his critics wrong so far and he canโt stop reminding them that only his legs can force him to retire from the game.
After his man-of-the-match performance against Al Ahli on Friday, Cristiano Ronaldo said: โThey say Ronaldo is doneโฆ but itโs not true. I will continue to play until my legs say: Cristiano, Iโm doneโ.
โI still have a lot. I still love football and scoring goals. I still love winning. They say Iโm done but Iโm still proving that itโs not trueโ.
