Ronaldo's World Cup Test at 41

Cristiano Ronaldo’s World Cup readiness is under fire at 41, with critics questioning his physical relevance—yet he laughs it off, reminding them they’re not watching the games. With 143 international goals and 30 club goals last season, his scoring remains elite, but doubts linger over his off-ball impact, especially after being benched in Qatar and going scoreless in five Euro 2024 outings. Portugal’s stacked squad, led by Bruno Fernandes and Vitinha, faces the challenge of balancing his star power with team dynamics. Ronaldo admits they’re still figuring out if they’re contenders—but he’s confident this generation will deliver Portugal’s joy on the world’s biggest stage.
