<p>At 39 years of age, the evergreen Portugal international is showing no sign of slowing down just yet. He <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/records-follow-me-cristiano-ronaldo-reacts-more-history-al-nassr-superstar-50-goals-season/blt6adf896e2fd67e6e" target="_blank">hit 50 goals for his Saudi employers last season</a> and has been back on target for club and country in 2024-25 – with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/proud-cristiano-ronaldo-thanks-man-utd-golden-boot-record-al-nassr-superstar-more-goalscoring-history/bltd1a95d73f71bd357" target="_blank">more history being made along the way</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Ronaldo’s latest outing saw him net the winning goal in a 2-1 victory over Al Rayyan in the AFC Champions League, with said strike <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-emotional-tribute-scoring-late-father-birthday-al-nassr-win/blt39510e3d223c099d" target="_blank">recorded on the day that would have seen his father – who passed away in 2005 – turn 71</a>.</p>

<p>An emotional Ronaldo told reporters afterwards of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/many-years-left-lionel-messi-cristiano-ronaldo-rivalry-former-usmnt-stars-alexi-lalas-stuart-holden-explain-why-goat-battle-continue-2026-world-cup/bltda9538095c917571" target="_blank">exploits that continue to amaze and need to be savoured</a> before retirement becomes an option that can no longer be avoided: “We had an excellent performance, we created a lot of chances.

The most important thing is not to be considered the best player or to win awards. The important thing is to enjoy it and to be useful to the club and the national team.

WHAT RONALDO SAID
