“This will probably be my last year in football.” Cristiano Ronaldo said it to Vogue, just like that, without beating around the bush. A confession that went around the world, impacting all his fans. 

In an intimate interview with Vogue magazine, after celebrating his wedding to Georgina Rodríguez, the Portuguese star confessed what his plans for the future were and how long he planned to play.  

“I have many things to do to keep myself busy that I couldn’t name just one. Because football can leave a big void, so you have to fill it with several things, not just one”.

“I want to leave a spectacular legacy; these 25 years have involved many sacrifices. I have my future completely planned out”, he concluded in an announcement that surprised the world.
