Far from his years of glory with Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo He now competes in the Saudi Professional League with the Al-Nassr shirt, a team with which he participates in the AFC Champions League. In fact, this stage in Saudi football seems to be the last of the Portuguese’s career, who does not know if he will be in the 2026 World Cup, which will be played in Canada, the United States and Mexico.
Cristiano won a European Championship with Portugal
One would believe that the main motivation of the Portuguese star would be to win another title with his country, especially after his controversial performance at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. However, it seems that the engine that drives Cristiano Ronaldo to continue in professional football at 39 years old is different and is more related to a family issue than with the glory that another title would mean.
According to the statements of Adrian Mutu, former Romanian player, what you want most CR7 is to have a professional match with his son, which would continue his career until Cristiano Jr. can compete. Currently, the young man is 14 years old, so we would have to wait two more years for him to make his official debut for Al-Nassr, where he is part of the youth team.
