In an interview on Spanish television programme 'El Chiringuito', Ronaldo said, “Right now I have a biological age of 23. I’ve still got a long time left. I can keep playing until I’m 41. I’m feeling good, happy, I can’t complain.”

On the basis of three key statistics, the medical staff at Juventus concluded that the forward has capabilities matching that of someone 13-years younger than him.

It has been backed by facts that Ronaldo was the fastest player at FIFA World Cup 2018, clocking a speed of 33.98 kmph. He has a body fat of just seven percent and a muscle mass of 50 percent.

He is in the contention for the FIFA Men's Player of the Year award and if he wins, it will be for the third consecutive title.

While signing for Juventus, FIFA quoted Ronaldo as saying, "Real Madrid has conquered my heart, and that of my family, and that is why more than ever I want to say thank you. I'm leaving but this shirt, this crest and the Santiago Bernabeu will continue to always feel as my own wherever I am."
