According to information published on the Whoop company’s X social media page, the biological age of the 40-year-old forward for the Portuguese national team and Al-Nassr club, Cristiano Ronaldo, corresponds to 28 years old. The footballer himself has already responded to this message. “Numbers don’t lie,” noted the Portuguese player. On November 23rd, Ronaldo scored the 954th goal of his career with an overhead kick in a Saudi Arabian league match. The veteran footballer, who turned 40, finished a cross from Nawaf Al-Boushal in the 96th minute of the match against Al-Khaleej by striking the ball with an overhead kick while falling. The match ended with a 4-1 victory for the hosts. Ronaldo has earned the title of top scorer in the history of both national teams and the Champions League and European Championship tournaments. He also became the first player to surpass the 900-goal mark in official games. His accolades include five Champions League triumphs, winning the 2016 European Championship, and twice winning the UEFA Nations League Cup. Ronaldo remains the only footballer to have scored in five consecutive World Cups, from 2006 through 2022. If the Portuguese national team successfully navigates the qualification round, the current qualifying cycle could be his seventh consecutive participation in the final stages of the World Cup.
