⚽ Ronaldo is probably done
Well, here we are. Ronaldo sat down with Vogue — it was actually a wedding interview, he and Georgina Rodriguez officially got married on Tuesday — and somewhere in the middle of it he just said: "This is probably my last year of football."
He's 41. Five Ballon d'Ors, five Champions League titles, goals in England, Spain, Italy, Saudi Arabia. He's 24 goals short of 1,000 for his career and says he wants to "leave a spectacular legacy." His Al-Nassr contract runs one more year. It all kind of lines up.
On life after football he's vague — padel, travel, family, enjoying what they've built together. "25 years with a lot of sacrifice" is how he put it.
Messi, for what it's worth, has also been saying lately he doesn't know how much longer he'll keep going. So yeah, that whole era is just sort of winding down, per BBC Sport.
