Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated his 40th birthday by reminiscing about his football career, particularly his time at Real Madrid, which he described as his happiest period. He noted that Spain feels like home, as his children grew up there. Reflecting on his departure in 2018, Ronaldo mentioned seeking a new challenge, feeling his time at Madrid had come to a natural conclusion. Despite frustrations during his departure negotiations, he expressed gratitude towards club president Florentino Perez, leaving open the possibility of a future return to Madrid.
Spain is my home, my children grew up there. It's where I was happiest in football, I will always have Madrid in my heart.
I wanted a different stage, my stage was over. I wanted a different motivation. It didn't wear me down.
I couldn't go back, because I gave my word to Juve and the president wanted to go back on it. But I appreciate Florentino [Perez] a lot.
One day maybe. I don't rule it out. I left a huge legacy there.
