Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably the best footballer in the world and his records are a testament to it. At 36, he could easily give a run for the money to young footballers half his age. During the much-awaited international friendly between Spain and Portugal, Ronaldo may not have scored a goal, but he sure proved that he is still super fit.

During the match that ended in a goal-less draw, Ronaldo’s box-to-box run of approximately 60 meters in seven seconds is being wowed by fans. The video where Ronaldo makes the runs off-the-ball is already going viral. What has to be also taken into account is the fact that Ronaldo made the run during the dying moments of the game. The video of it went viral as fans were in awe of Ronaldo.

Ronaldo, who is set to play his fifth Euros, showed glimpses that he is still going to be the player to watch out for. During the game at Estadio Wanda Metropolitan, Ronaldo was booed by the fans every time he touched the ball. During the game, Ronaldo also managed to create a couple of chances, but unfortunately, they were not converted into goals.

Meanwhile, there is massive speculation that Ronaldo may leave Old Lady if a ‘good’ bid arrives.

It would certainly be interesting to see what the future holds in store for the Portuguese icon. After the stalemate against Spain, Ronaldo lauded his team as on social media, he wrote: “Good Job, TEAM.”

Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo hopes to be remembered as one of the stalwarts of football, who worked hard to be the best in the business and gave his all to the team he represented.

LiveScore, the global sports media business and one of the world’s leading real-time sports updates providers, on Monday announced Ronaldo as its Official Global Brand Ambassador.

The groundbreaking deal will see the world’s most famous footballer and five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo unite with LiveScore as the brand continues its rapid evolution as a major global sports media force.

Launching ahead of the upcoming European Championship this summer, the relationship will span at least two domestic football seasons and next year’s World Cup.

Ronaldo, speaking at his unveiling as LiveScore’s Official Global Brand Ambassador, said; “I hope that I will be remembered as one of the great players, someone that worked hard, that always did his best to help his team and will be part of the history of the game.”

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who recently scored his 100th goal for Juventus, had no hesitation in naming two players who according to him might rule the football world in the near future.

“It is hard to choose just one player to say this one will be the best, but I think it is exciting to see this new generation of young players, like Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe, who are coming through,” said the Portugal captain.

Ronaldo highlighted that to be labelled as a great player one must ensure he plays the game consistently well with a sheer amount of hard work.

“Some players can have one or two great seasons, the really great players are the ones that keep doing it season after season, and that is not so easy to do. It takes a lot of hard work, and a lot of commitment,” said Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo will not return to his boyhood club Sporting in the summer, his agent Jorge Mendes said after the Juventus forward’s mother Dolores Aveiro insisted she would try to bring him back to the Portuguese club.

Ronaldo, 36, has one year remaining on his contract at Juventus but has been linked with a departure this summer to Sporting, the club where he began his senior career.

After Sporting clinched the Portuguese title for the first time since 2002 on Tuesday, Ronaldo’s mother Aveiro said “next year he (Ronaldo) will play in Alvalade (Sporting’s stadium).”

“Cristiano is very proud of Sporting winning the championship, as he has demonstrated publicly,” Mendes told Portuguese newspaper Record.

“But at the moment, his career plans do not go through Portugal.”

Ronaldo leads the way in the Serie A goalscoring charts this term with 28 goals, but his club Juventus have had a difficult season and could miss out on the Champions League next season. They host league champions Inter Milan later on Saturday. 

Cristiano Ronaldo’s 100th goal for Juventus in all competitions kept his side’s hopes alive of a top-four Serie A finish after a 3-1 win at an impressive Sassuolo on Wednesday. The result was not easy to come by for Juve, with returning goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon saving an early penalty, but goals from Adrien Rabiot, Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala meant they stayed fifth, two points off the Champions League qualification places.

Meanwhile, the Portuguese footballer also became the first player in history to score 100-plus club goals in three countries. Ronaldo also has netted 103 times for Portugal.

Buffon, who announced this week that he is leaving the club at the end of the season, replaced Wojciech Szczesny in goal and immediately showed he has lost none of his ability as he brilliantly kept out Domenico Berardi’s spot-kick.

The chances kept coming for the home side, and their profligacy proved costly as Rabiot drilled home the opener in the 28th minute, before Ronaldo reached another milestone just before the break with a cool finish from the edge of the area.

Sassuolo continued to do everything but score, until Giacomo Raspadori finally beat Buffon just before the hour mark. But Dybala also reached a century of Juve goals, with a fine dinked finish, to ensure they kept pace with their top-four rivals Atalanta, AC Milan and Napoli, who all won in the latest round of matches, with two games to play.

“It was important to win tonight, we were so poor in the match with Milan,” Rabiot told DAZN. “We wanted to do more, we suffered but the attitude was the right one.”

“We are all angry, Juve must do better. We must try to win the last two games and see what happens.”

Gabriele Gravina, President of the Italian Football Association (FIGC) on Monday said that Juventus will be banned from Serie A next season if they still choose to remain a part of the breakaway and rebel European Super League.

Nine of the 12 founding clubs of the European Super League have taken a step back and they have confirmed their commitment to UEFA. The three remaining clubs — Real Madrid, Juventus, and Barcelona — had refused to get reintegrated into UEFA and as a result, they face further punishment.

“The rules are clear. If Juventus is still part of the Super League when it enters next season, it can’t participate in Serie A,” Gabriele Gravina told Radio Kiss Kiss, as reported by Goal.com.

“I would be sorry for the fans but rules are rules and they apply to everyone. I hope this holdout ends soon,” he added.

Gravina also said that he is eager to ensure that Juventus are not banned in Serie A. “They are simple principles, affirmed by the Olympic Charter and then reported by the statutes of national and international federations,” Gravina told Radio Anch’io Sport.

“They are clear principles, in which the exclusivity of sport management is established. I hope that this dispute can be resolved as soon as possible. We are all a bit tired of this tug-of-war between UEFA and these three clubs. I hope to be able to mediate between Juventus and UEFA,” he added.

Talking further, Gravina said: “It’s not good for international football, Italian football, Juventus. We have already said that the football association respects the rules. The rules foresee the non-participation in our championship if the principles established by the federation and UEFA are not accepted.”

The announcement to form a breakaway European Super League made by 12 founding clubs including Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur, was met with widespread criticism.

As a result, all the six Premier League clubs, involved in the proposed European Super League, withdrew from the competition.
