Ronaldo: Personal Records No Longer Matter.

Posted 1 months ago

Cristiano Ronaldo stated that he "no longer cares" about being the best player in the world and is now focused on supporting his teammates.

Ronaldo, 39, joined Saudi Pro League team Al-Nassr in January 2023 after leaving Manchester United. On Monday, he scored in Al-Nassr's 2-1 victory over Qatari team Al-Rayyan in the AFC Champions League group stage.

"Whether I’m the best or not doesn't matter to me anymore," the Portugal captain said after the match. "While scoring goals is good, it's more important for the team to win. I’m used to breaking records, but I’m not chasing them anymore. My focus now is on enjoying the game and helping Al-Nassr and my teammates succeed."

Despite winning the Ballon d'Or five times, he has not been nominated for the 2024 award. After scoring the 904th goal of his career, Ronaldo pointed to the sky instead of doing his usual celebration.

"My goal against Al-Rayyan was special because my father would have been proud if he were alive today, as it’s his birthday," he shared.
