Cristiano Ronaldo turns 40, still chasing 1,000 goals milestone
There was no big party for now. Cristiano Ronaldo showed on social media that he spent his 40th birthday with family and friends. As of Wednesday, the Portuguese star has officially joined the ranks of forty-year-olds.
Cristiano Ronaldo is in an intensive period of the season. His team, Al-Nassr, secured a 4-0 victory on Monday in an AFC Champions League match. The team leader contributed two goals to the defeat of Al-Wasl from the United Arab Emirates. Al-Nassr's next game in the Saudi league is already scheduled for Friday.
Thus, the Portuguese didn't have much time to celebrate this important day in his life. Cristiano Ronaldo entered his fifth decade on Wednesday. He remains an active soccer player with plans for the future, and he could teach many athletes lessons on achieving longevity.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo and his loved ones didn't forget to celebrate his 40th birthday. The Portuguese star shared two photos from his special day on social media.
In one photo, Cristiano Ronaldo posed with his beloved Georgina Rodriguez, with whom he has formed a strong relationship over the years. In the second photo, Cristiano and Georgina are surrounded by loved ones invited to the birthday gathering.
Thank you all for the amazing birthday messages! Had a great day with family and friends, couldn’t wish for anything better - wrote Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese star is determined to surpass soon the milestone of 1,000 goals scored in his career. He remains in excellent scoring form and certainly has a strong appetite to break the record. In 2026, Cristiano Ronaldo plans to play in his last World Cup. For this, Portugal still needs to qualify for the tournament, which is set to be hosted by Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
