Cristiano Ronaldo, 40, continues to prove the doubters wrong, having recently lifted the UEFA Nations League trophy with Portugal. He has now won the tournament twice.
Ronaldo was pivotal to Portugal's winning campaign, scoring eight goals in nine appearances. Portugal won 5-3 on penalties after the final ended 2-2 in extra time.
Ronaldo has now received high praise from former Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti. The Brazil boss said ahead of a World Cup qualifier against Paraguay:
"I'm very happy for him. Cristiano is a football legend and remains one at his age, thanks to his seriousness and professionalism. He's still performing at the highest level." — Carlo Ancelotti
