Cristiano Ronaldo retires? There is no official announcement, but the Portuguese legend's words to Vogue leave little room for imagination and sound like an imminent farewell from football, considering his 41-year-old age and his endless career:
"This is probably my last year as a footballer and I want to leave behind a spectacular legacy. I have already planned my future. I have so many things to deal with that it is difficult to mention just one. Football can leave a big void, you have to fill your time in different ways, not just with one thing. And I would also like to have more fun, travel more, watch and play padel, which I really like, and continue to enjoy what I have won, or rather, what we have won. Because, after all, it has been 25 years with a lot of sacrifices."
In short, after a life at the top, even for one of the greatest and most iconic footballers of all time, it seems that the time is approaching to hang up his boots and dedicate himself to other things. CR7's ultimate goal, as everyone knows, is to reach 1000 goals in his career: the countdown says -24, while the goals scored are 976. Then will come the tears, the toasts and the memories of an extraordinary footballer.
