In 2020, Cristiano Ronaldo became
the first active team-sport athlete
to surpass $1 billion in career earnings.
He is the first person to surpass 500 million followers across the
major social media platforms.
As we anticipate the retirement of CR7 from the beautiful
game that brought him fame and fortune, he will not only draw tears from many eyes;
it will also be the end of sheer dominance from the man the universe blessed.
He fought many battles on the football field. Most of
which he won. I believe Ronaldo must have at some point wondered how he made it
this far. It is beyond class and talent to be at the peak of your powers for
many years. I strongly believe that
providence was at the root of everything. The gods, in their wisdom made Cristiano
Ronaldo a champion. An assignment he had accomplished here on earth!
The star has given everything to football. He has won
everything and may probably retire after the 2022 world cup in Qatar. At 37, Cristiano Ronaldo has nothing to
prove. He has scored great goals and his individual awards speak volume
about the man.
Collectively, Ronaldo has won 32 senior trophies in
his career. He has also attained one title from youth and at least five titles
from friendly competitions. All in all he had won over 300 trophies and medals
by January 2021, with some of them dating back to his childhood.
What a player! He’s been a top professional throughout his
career. The question now is, “Will there
be another Cristiano Ronaldo?” This is a straightforward answer. There will
be several talents coming through the ranks. Great players in their own right
but there will never be another Cristiano Ronaldo! We are fortunate to witness
the creature in our lifetime!
Someday, he will draw the curtain on his illustrious career
and the round leather game will sorely miss the sheer talent from Madeira,
Portugal. In fact, the world is already missing him.
At 37 years old,
the body is no longer the same. It
can no longer cope with the rigor and challenge of football.
We will miss the
biggest personality to come out of Portugal.
