Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo shocked his fans after dropping a huge hint at his retirement from professional football.
Following the game between his team Al Nassr and Al Rayyan in the AFC Champions League, Ronaldo asserted that he was not fixated on winning individual trophies.
Ronaldo, who leads Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia and Portugal’s national side, emphasised his goal was to be the best team player.
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid superstar, without mentioning his retirement plans, hinted that his days in professional football were numbered, Mirror UK reported.
“I’m just enjoying playing football now as I know I don’t have much time left on the pitch. It is not important to me now to be the best player or to win awards. What is important to me now is to enjoy and help my team,” Cristiano Ronaldo said after the game.
It is noteworthy here that the Portuguese footballer scored the 900th goal of his career last month as Portugal beat Croatia 2-1 in Lisbon in their first game of the UEFA Nations League.
