HOW MANY MORE YEARS BEFORE RONALDO RETIRES?

Cristiano Ronaldo is still leading the pack but his stats have dropped considerably. He is the star of the Juventus team as they push for continental glory. It eluded them last term and they would not have it easier in the current term as well.

The 34-year old has spoken many times of playing up to 40 if possible but that would not be at the top Italian club. Analysts hint that after two more years of winning the Serie A and not making significant in-roads in the Champions League, the Ronaldo-Juve marriage would be over.

At 36, Ronaldo would have numerous options in the Major League Soccer (MLS) or in Asia. He could still pull the most salary for a footballer because of his huge brand capital.

Gianluigi Buffon recently compared Ronaldo to Rafael Nadal and Lionel Messi as Roger Federer. Buffon opined that just like Federer is class, Messi is the same. He added that as Nadal is more of a product of perseverance and work aside talent, Ronaldo is the same. Both tennis stars have led the sport in this generation, as the two soccer stars.

Buffon himself at 41 has refused to give up. In truth Ronaldo could go as for as long as possible but having won almost everything out there, it would be safer not to soil his legacy. As his productivity drops significantly at Juve, it would be time to exit elite football for retirement plans. This is realistically two years.

RONALDO LIKES THE IDEA OF DINNER WITH MESSI

Cristiano Ronaldo has said he would like to have dinner sometime with his arch rival Lionel Messi. The pair was seated next to each other as UEFA held the draw for the Champions League this term.

The former Real Madrid man spoke affectionately of their 15-year rivalry and how they pushed each other to be better. Both men have won five Ballond’or awards apiece, ruling the game for a decade. With Virgil van Dijk winning the UEFA Men’s Player of the Year award, it is likely the Dutch would win that of FIFA later on.

Messi won the Champions League Forward of the season though, while his teammate Frenjkie de Jong got the nod for the midfield. Liverpool’s Alisson Becker won the Goalkeeper of the season while Virgil retained the award for the defence role.

While Ronaldo and Messi play in different leagues now, the Portuguese admitted to missing the La Liga. They would always meet at the Champions League though. The mutual respect was obvious as they agreed they both pushed each other to be better versions of themselves.

With Juventus drawing Atletico Madrid again, the player has asked to be treated with more respect compared to last season. They met at the knockout stage last term with Atletico fans chanting abuses against Ronaldo. Coach Diego Simeone also joined with a provocative celebration involving his groin. Ronaldo scored a hat trick to knock them out in the return leg in Turin, copying Simeone’s celebration.

Juventus was eventually knocked out in the next stage by a surprise youthful Ajax side. Now there are fresh legs, a new manager and renewed dream of continental success after going close several times in recent years.
