Cristiano Ronaldo, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner at 38, is determined to stay in top shape and extend his football career. He intends to compete in the upcoming 2026 World Cup and continue his rivalry with 36-year-old Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo has already expressed his long-term intentions to Portugal and Al-Nassr, aiming to play until "early 2027." According to Cadena COPE, the 38-year-old wants to extend his contract with the Saudi Arabian club until 2027, allowing him to represent Portugal in the next World Cup, hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
In 2021, Ronaldo set a historic record for the most goals scored in a single season of international play, with 123 goals in 201 appearances for Portugal. As the captain, he led his nation during the World Cup finals in Qatar last year.
Ronaldo's goal is to continue his rivalry with Messi, who won the 2022 World Cup. By playing football until he turns 41, he seeks another shot at claiming that prestigious title. This decision sets the stage for an ongoing and highly anticipated rivalry that football fans worldwide look forward to.
