Cristiano Ronaldo has vowed to continue playing at the top level until at least 2024 and insisted the journey of his playing career “is not over yet”.
The Portuguese superstar was speaking at the Quinas de Ouro in his home nation after being recognised as the top international scorer for the year. Aged 37, Ronaldo has lost his starting spot at Manchester United but remains as important as ever at international level.
Ronaldo became the highest-ever goalscorer in international football a year ago while he has now scored a total of 117 goals for Portugal in 189 caps. He will captain his nation in this year’s World Cup finals and wants to have at least one more major international tournament left in his career.
