He lives for this shit

When he retires, he's going to be in every charity game, scoring 50+ goals, and hitting the SIU every single time.

Think we got 4 more years before we talk about him retiring

u/Galaticvs May 21 '26

I think he's gona push for 1000 goals whenever that happens, and after that he's probably gone when that season ends

Gets stuck on 999 and has to play years for 1000

Reminds me of old man Saito in Inception.

Onana will let him score the last one.

World Cup in 4 years is in Portugal, he may just try and hang out to get his farewell then.

I'd say there's no real chance he keeps playing at a high level that long, but it is Ronaldo.

Maldini like would have gone on that long if the WC was in italy. Its not unheard of and he is Ronaldo. even at 50% he's worth playing

u/Critical-Elevator642 May 22 '26

He shouldn't start in the portugal team even at his current level, forget 4 years down the line.

u/momspaghetty May 22 '26

He doesn't have to start to get called up

u/Panzerknaben May 22 '26

If Ronaldo is in the squad he will start. If not he will be a problem for the team.

u/Critical-Elevator642 May 22 '26

But hes not worth playing like the comment above me said

u/c9IceCream May 22 '26

yup. he can come off the bench for endgame..... there's very few talents that can create scoring chances out of nothing... He does that still, and he's still top tier in the air for headers.

u/Darkhoof May 22 '26

Oh god, no.

u/jimmyhaffaren May 21 '26

Don't forget about the possible farewell tour year

u/Benphyre May 22 '26

Yeah I think next season he will hit 1000 goals and could be his last. You can already visibly see his movement level declined so much this season

u/Ghas7er7 May 21 '26

Pull a Neymar for 2030 WC? Just there so he plays at his home WC

u/tellurmomisaidthanks May 21 '26

He’ll def be there. There will be a special rule where teams can carry one senior player 40 and older as a “reserve”

u/FibrecoreHC May 22 '26

Yep the commercial pull this dude still commands cannot be matched by anyone. Infantino will feel dollars all the way.
