Cristiano Ronaldo's quiet 40th: Family, friends, and football
There was no grand celebration for now. Cristiano Ronaldo revealed on social media that he celebrated his 40th birthday with family and friends. As of Wednesday, the Portuguese star can call himself a forty-year-old.
Cristiano Ronaldo is in a demanding period of the season. His team, Al-Nassr, triumphed 4-0 on Monday in an AFC Champions League match. The team leader contributed with two goals in the triumph over Al-Wasl from the United Arab Emirates. Al-Nassr's next match in the Saudi league is already set for Friday.
Thus, the Portuguese player didn't have much time to celebrate this significant day. Cristiano Ronaldo entered his fifth decade on Wednesday. He could teach many athletes about achieving longevity as he continues to be an active footballer with plans for the future.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo and his loved ones didn't forget to celebrate the footballer's 40th birthday. The Portuguese star shared two photos from his special day on social media.
In one photo, Cristiano Ronaldo posed with his beloved Georgina Rodriguez, with whom he has formed a strong relationship over the years. In the second photo, Cristiano and Georgina are surrounded by loved ones invited to the birthday gathering.
Thank you all for the amazing birthday messages! Had a great day with family and friends, couldn’t wish for anything better - wrote Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese star is keen to soon surpass 1,000 goals in his career. He remains in excellent scoring form and strongly desires to break the record. Cristiano Ronaldo plans to play his last World Cup in 2026. However, Portugal still needs to qualify for the tournament hosted by Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
