Georgina Rodríguez, Cristiano Ronaldo’s partner, recounted in “I Am Georgina” a conversation she had with him about slowing down. She told him: “Cris, if you already have everything, let’s enjoy life a little”. He replied without hesitation: “For me, you and football are everything, it’s my passion”.
Cristiano has just turned 41 and is playing in his sixth World Cup. Many took it for granted that 2026 would be his last major date with football. But Georgina went further: she said that he is still “just as motivated as on the first day” and that he even jokes about retiring “maybe at 50”.
With those words, the top scorer in history leaves a question hanging that is already dividing fans: can you imagine Cristiano still playing nine years from now? ⚽🐐
