Cristiano Ronaldo showcases scoring ability at age 41 for Portugal
Summary

Cristiano Ronaldo, now 41 years old, continues to demonstrate his scoring prowess in the Saudi Pro League and international play. He ranked third in league scoring with 28 goals during the 2025-26 season, following two seasons as the league's top scorer. Although he has excelled at finding the net, Ronaldo's overall play has declined, and he may struggle defensively as Portugal prepares for the 2026 World Cup. Portugal's coach Roberto Martinez is expected to adjust the team's strategy to accommodate Ronaldo's current strengths, focusing on creating scoring opportunities for the veteran forward.
