Cristiano Ronaldo celebrates 40th birthday, won’t retire yet

Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated his 40th birthday on Wednesday with no signs of slowing down his majestic career.

The Portugal captain increased his record to 923 goals after scoring twice in Al Nassr‘s 4-0 triumph over Al Wasl in Monday’s Asian Champions League. It was his 700th club career win.

Ronaldo is widely regarded as one of the best players of all time. In his mind, he believes he has little competition for that title.

“I honestly haven’t seen anyone better than me,” the AL Nassr forward told El Chiringuito TV. “I believe I am the most complete player that has ever existed. I do everything in football.”

He is a unique player if you consider his achievements and longevity.

Ronaldo, who started his professional career at Sporting CP in 2002 before moving to Manchester United one year later, has won 33 senior titles.

He has lifted five Champions League crowns, including four during his nine-year spell at Real Madrid.

“I’m so competitive that many times I forget what I’ve achieved as it gives me motivation to do more and be better every year,” Ronaldo said. “I think that is the difference with others. Somebody else in my position would have left football 10 years ago. I continue with that passion. I’m different.”

Ronaldo, who has won five Ballon d’Ors and two FIFA the Best awards, said he isn’t ready to stop.
