How much longer will Ronaldo play for and when will they retire?
When a footballer crosses the threshold of 30, it is usually not long before their playing days begin to wind down, such is the physical and mental demand of playing the game.
We cannot be entirely certain just how much longer Messi and Ronaldo will be able to play for, because there are so many considerations to take into account.
However, with ideal conditions, it is not inconceivable that the two could play at the highest level until they are 40.
The average age for a footballer to retire, according to the PFA, is 35. Ronaldo has already passed that last 2015.
Ronaldo can take heart from the fact that there have been a number of high profile examples of individuals playing into their late thirties and even past 40.
Goalkeepers are more likely to play well into their thirties, which is not surprising when one considers the relative lack of punishment a goalkeeper’s body takes during the course of a career, but there are plenty of outfielders who have resist work through too.
