Ronaldo is still formidable.

At nearly 40 years old, CR7 still terrorizes every defense - and statistics show that he has the best goal-scoring record for the Portuguese national team under Roberto Martínez.

At nearly 40 years old, CR7 still strikes terror into every defense.

Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't aged in the way people think. Approaching 40, he still runs, jumps, shoots, and strikes fear into the hearts of others like he did in his twenties. His recent goal against Germany in the Nations League – his 137th goal in 219 appearances for the national team – not only extended his record but also confirmed one thing: Ronaldo has never left the top.

In the 2024/25 season, the Portuguese superstar continued his dominance in the Saudi Arabian Premier League, winning the top scorer title for the second consecutive time. He scored 25 goals for Al Nassr, surpassing Ivan Toney (23 goals, Al Ahli) and his former teammate Karim Benzema (21 goals). While many of his contemporaries have retired or stepped into supporting roles, Ronaldo remains fiercely competitive, an irreplaceable leader at both club and national team levels.

And now he's back in Germany, aiming for his second Nations League title – a realistic goal, especially given his current excellent form for the national team.

Under coach Roberto Martínez, Ronaldo was reborn. Not only did he maintain his influence, but he also achieved an unprecedented goal-scoring rate: 19 goals in 24 matches - an average of 0.79 goals per game. That number speaks volumes more than any words: his persistence, killer instinct, and unending hunger.

The moment Ronaldo leaped high over the entire German defense, heading the ball like a spring… is the clearest proof: his physical condition remains at the highest level, regardless of age. But more than physical strength, it's his steely resolve – the weapon that has helped CR7 challenge all limits for almost two decades.

Cristiano is more than just an icon. He is a true warrior – one who continues to lead a new generation of Portuguese players with ageless charisma. And if Spain wants to lift the trophy, they will have to overcome not just 11 players, but also a living legend named Ronaldo.
