Who will they compare Lionel Messi to now?
With his latest announcement in Vogue, the world must officially prepare for a world of football without Cristiano Ronaldo. As the man who changed Portuguese football forever—being the first captain to deliver his country major international glory—steps closer to the end, the game will deeply miss his unmatched passion, fierce leadership, and that iconic Siuuu celebration.
After 25 years of daily sacrifices, records, and trophies, CR7 has confirmed that he is planning for life after the game.
In His Own Words
“I have a lot of things that will keep me busy, to the point that it’s difficult to tell you just one thing. I have just planned it all.
When football is gone, it can leave a big void, and you have to fill your time with different things planned… not just one thing.
I am ready to enjoy myself more, travel more, watch and play padel, which I love very much. So I want to continue enjoying what I have earned… and what we have earned together.
Because it was 25 years filled with a lot of daily sacrifices.”

Now, as he steps into what is likely his final lap, fans and teams alike have to adapt to football without CR7 on the pitch.
