Ronaldo’s Future and International Retirement Speculation
As Ronaldo celebrated his 39th birthday at the start of 2024, questions arose about his international future. With the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup when he will be 41, his ability to stay fit will be crucial for his participation in the tournament.

Records and Rivalry with Lionel Messi
Ronaldo currently holds the record for the most men’s international caps (213) and goals (131), surpassing his long-time rival Lionel Messi. The race to score over 1000 goals is a motivating factor for Ronaldo, but it will require immense effort to maintain his exceptional level of performance.
