One of the greatest footballers in history, Ronaldo currently plays for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. Although he recently competed in Euro 2024, he was unable to lead his team to victory. At 39 years old, Ronaldo is nearing the end of his illustrious playing career. Despite his remarkable physical fitness, his goal-scoring prowess has diminished, as evidenced by his performance in the European tournament where he struggled to find the net during crucial moments.

As Ronaldo approaches retirement, it is anticipated that he will gradually transition into content creation and other business ventures.
