Asked by Morgan if he has an age in mind for retirement, Ronaldo said: “Soon. But I think I will be prepared. It will be tough, of course. Will be difficult, yes. Probably I will cry, yes … It will be very, very difficult but I’ve prepared my future since (I was) 25, 26, 27 years old.”

Ronaldo also hinted that will not remain in football when he does hang up his boots.

“Nothing will compare to the adrenaline we have for football to score a goal,” he added.

“But I have other passions. (When I retire) I’m going to have more time for me, have more time for my family, to raise my kids … I want to be more a family person, more present. Also, to have my own hobbies. I like to see UFC, the fights.
