Ronaldo: This is probably my last year of football

BREAKING: Cristiano Ronaldo says this is 'probably' his last year of football, giving his clearest hint yet at retirement.

Cristiano Ronaldo says this is probably his last year of football.

That's the man himself, forty-one years old, telling us the end is close. Not a leak, not a source, his own words. Probably my last year. And you can see him here in the Portugal shirt he's worn for over two decades, the shirt that made him the most-capped and highest-scoring men's international ever.

He's still turning out for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, still chasing that mythical thousandth career goal. And the big one, next summer's World Cup, would land right at the edge of that timeline. It's the only major trophy he's never lifted, and if he means what he says, it would be his last shot at it.

Twenty-plus years, five Champions Leagues, five Ballons d'Or, and it comes down to one final season. When he goes, an entire era of football goes with him.
