Many people think that C. Ronaldo is not great if he has not won the World Cup. In response to that opinion, the Portuguese superstar said: "I think I lack nothing. People can say what they want.
My biggest dream is to win a championship with the national team. However, it is unfair to say that I need to win the World Cup to have a great career. I am proud of what I have achieved in football. If I could win another title, I would be very happy, but that is not my goal."
Talking about the possibility of participating in the 2026 World Cup, C. Ronaldo said: "If I am still physically and mentally healthy and the national team still needs me, I am ready to participate in the tournament."
In addition to playing in the last World Cup of his career, C. Ronaldo also has a great desire to play alongside his 14-year-old son Cristiano Jr. The player added: "I want to play alongside my 14-year-old son, but let's wait and see. That depends on me, more than my son."

Sharing about his retirement plan, superstar number 7 said: "I love playing but I also understand that at some point, everything will end. In 2, 3 years, I don't know exactly. I don't care too much. My passion is still the most important.
Before every game, I feel like my stomach is in knots as the adrenaline builds. It makes me sweat. I feel like that passion drives me to go out there every week.
I could hang up my boots today and not regret anything. However, I am still very good and know how to make a difference. At least, I can still fight for another 2, 3 years. I live for the present, not the future."
C. Ronaldo has scored 924 goals in his career. This player is gradually approaching the milestone of scoring 1,000 goals. Despite turning 40, the Portuguese superstar's form has not decreased. He is leading the scoring list in the Saudi Arabian national championship this season with 16 goals.
