The football world is once again in turmoil after Cristiano Ronaldo’s confident declaration: “2026 will be the best year of my career.” At the age of 41, many people think he should rest, but CR7 seems to be preparing for the greatest chapter of his life – a chapter that he believes will change football history forever.
According to the latest shares, Ronaldo has set three impossible goals: winning the World Cup with Portugal, winning the sixth Ballon d’Or, and becoming the first player in history to score 1,000 professional goals. A vision that seems like only in the movies, but if anyone has the courage to make it come true, it can only be Cristiano Ronaldo.
After more than two decades of fighting, Ronaldo still maintains an amazing physique and competitive spirit. At Al-Nassr, he has continuously broken the scoring record in the Saudi Pro League, making experts admit that age seems to have no effect on the performance of “CR7”. With a strict training regimen, scientific nutrition and a steely spirit, he still maintains the speed, strength and desire to win like in his twenties.
Many fans believe that Ronaldo is preparing for the final “explosion”: the 2026 World Cup in North America – where he will lead the new golden generation of Portugal, with names like Rafael Leão, João Félix or Vitinha. The combination of Ronaldo’s experience and the youth of his teammates can create a destructive team. If Portugal wins, it will be the first world cup in the history of this country – and the greatest mark in Ronaldo’s career.
Along with that, the goal of scoring 1,000 goals is gradually becoming feasible. To date, Ronaldo has surpassed the 880-goal mark, and with his current form, reaching the 1,000-goal mark by 2026 is not at all impossible.
The international media is starting to call 2026 “The Year of Ronaldo” – the year in which he can end his career with a legendary ending, a symbol of perseverance, discipline and unwavering belief.
Ronaldo once said: “If you don’t believe you are the best, you will never reach the top.” And perhaps, it is that belief that will take him to the final throne – where the whole world will have to admit that: Cristiano Ronaldo is not just a legend, but the definition of greatness in modern football.
