Â
Cristiano Ronaldo has hinted that he’s nearing retirement after his latest strike for Al-Nassr. Â
Â
Â
Ronaldo, 39, is one of the greatest footballers to ever play the game, with the Portuguese superstar having scored 904 career goals.
Â
Â
The forward has represented the likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and the Portuguese national team.
Â
Â
Ronaldo, who has also won the Ballon d’Or five times – now plays for Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr where he has added 64 goals and 17 assists in just 71 games.
Â
Â
His scored on Monday night as Al-Nassr beat Qatari side Al-Rayyan 2-1 in their second AFC Champions League game this season.Â
Â
Â
After the match, the veteran claimed that he’s close to bringing down the curtain on his career and insisted he’s not focused on winning individual accolades.Â
Â
Â
‘I’m just enjoying playing football now as I know I don’t have much time left on the pitch,’ Ronaldo said.Â
Â
Â
‘It is not important to me now to be the best player or to win awards. What is important to me now is to enjoy and help my team’.Â
Â
Â
For his goal celebration, Ronaldo pointed to the sky after he scored his latest goal.Â
Â
Â
He dedicated his goal to his father after scoring on what would have been his 71st birthday.
Â
Â
His father Jose died aged 52 in 2005 of an alcohol-related liver condition when Ronaldo was 20 years old.Â
Â
Â
Ronaldo, who shows no signs of slowing down despite his age, has also won 33 trophies during his career.
