Wales manager and former Manchester United player, Ryan Giggs has said Cristiano Ronaldo could keep playing at the highest level until he is 40 years old.
The Portuguese striker joined Juventus last summer and is currently 34, however, he has since maintained the amazing form the world has always known him with.
He is currently hoping to win the UCL for a third different club after dismantling Atletico Madrid with a fantastic showing and a clinical hat–trick on Tuesday night.
Giggs said, “He is no longer the player that he was when he was at 19, 20 but he has adapted his game,”
“He went from a winger, who used to beat people, make goals, score goals to now really just an out-and-out goal scorer, and he scores every type of goal, headers, goals in the six-yard box free-kicks and every type of goal.
“He is also the best professional I have played with. The way he looked after himself, not only in training but also away from the pitch. The way that he eats, the way that he conducts himself.
“So, I’m not surprised that he is still playing and still at the top of his game.
“You still have to have that hunger, desire and dedication to go out and train and look after yourself – eat the right way, not drinking alcohol, getting enough sleep and enjoying it.
“Ronaldo, if you look at him, he still looks after himself. So, if he still has that hunger, that desire and enjoying it like I said, he can still go until 40 I think.”
