Ronaldo turned 40 this year but is still playing for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia and the Portugal national team, for whom he has scored 143 times in 225 appearances an all-time record in the men's game. But with the forward, ranked at no.4 in FourFourTwo's list of the greatest players of all time, now in the twilight of his career, he has revealed that he doesn't have much longer left at the top level.

Mata moved Down Under last September after making just a single appearance for J1 League club Vissel Kobe in 2023-24. He appeared 23 times as the Wanderers finished fourth in the 2024-25 regular season and fell at the first hurdle in the finals, scoring once and supplying three assists. Despite leaving upon the expiration of his contract, Mata will spend another year in Australia with the team that lost last season's grand final, going down 1-0 to rivals Melbourne City.

"I hate not knowing what's about to happen next, but at the same time, it creates this inner peace in me where I can only control what I can control and I can be present. It just puts more emphasis on the now, to be great right now."
