Cristiano Ronaldo stunned fans with a bold claim – he might play until he’s 50. The 40-year-old Portuguese star made this joke after seeing surprising data from Whoop, a company that tracks physical condition.
What the Data Reveals
Ronaldo’s physiological age is 11 years younger than his real age. “28.9… I don’t believe it’s that good,” he said. “This means I’ll play for another 10 years.”
Ronaldo appeared on the Whoop Podcast with CEO Will Ahmed.
Ronaldo’s Mindset
At 25, Ronaldo thought he was invincible. Now, at 40, he prioritizes recovery and sleep. “When you’re young, you think you’ll live forever, that you’ll always be strong,” he said. “But I still feel good.”
Ronaldo’s secret? Giving recovery and sleep top priority. He knows that as you age, your body changes. But with the right mindset and habits, he’s confident he can keep playing at a high level for years to come.
