Despite turning 40, Cristiano Ronaldo is still maintaining his impressive form for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. In the current season, the owner of 5 Golden Balls continues to surpass the 30-goal mark – a milestone that shows his class does not fade with time.

Internationally, CR7 has also played 219 times for Portugal, scoring 136 goals. He currently has no plans to retire from the national team and is expected to continue wearing the captain’s armband at the 2026 World Cup finals.

Luis Figo believes Cristiano Ronaldo can play until he is 42

Speaking at an event in Madrid, Luis Figo expressed his admiration for Ronaldo: “He could be a starter at the World Cup, he could even make a difference… We have to wait and see what happens. But Cristiano is an example to the world of professionalism, talent and dedication.

And he will always score, even at 40 or 42, I believe. Whether those goals are decisive or not, we have to wait. For the Portuguese, we always hope that they will be decisive goals.”

If he continues to accompany the Portuguese team at the 2026 World Cup, Ronaldo will become the first player in history to participate in 6 World Cup finals – an unprecedented feat. And with limitless ambition, the Portuguese superstar can completely set many new records before officially saying goodbye to the pitch.

Ronaldo has publicly stated his goal of reaching 1,000 career goals before considering retirement. According to Saudi Arabian media, a contract extension with Al-Nassr is being worked out, expected to keep CR7 at the club until at least the summer of 2026.
