"I'm really enjoying the moment right now. As you know, in football, when you reach some age, you count the months very quick. I feel very good in this moment. I score goals; I still feel quick and sharp. I'm enjoying my game in the national team. But of course, let's be honest. What I mean by soon is probably one or two years."
"Definitely, yes, because I will be 41 years old [at the World Cup], said Ronaldo, who is also the top scorer in history with 143 international goals. I gave everything for football. I've been in the game for the last 25 years. I did everything. I have many records in the different scenarios in the clubs and also in the national teams. I'm really proud. So let's enjoy the moment, live the moment."
Cristiano Ronaldo will retire within one to two years and intends the 2026 World Cup to be his final major tournament. The 40-year-old forward has scored more than 950 goals for clubs and country since debuting at Sporting in 2002 and extended his contract with Al-Nassr until 2027. Ronaldo plans to spend more time with his family while he still feels quick, sharp and productive for club and country. Portugal needs two points to secure qualification for the 2026 World Cup, where Ronaldo will be 41 and seeking the only major title missing from his collection.
