"I think that, in a way, these awards (The Best and Ballon d'Or) are losing credibility. We have to analyze the entire season. I don't want to say that Messi didn't deserve it, or Haaland or even Mbappé. I simply no longer believe in "These awards... are facts, they are numbers. And the numbers don't lie."

Cristiano Ronaldo was the top scorer in 2023, scoring 50 goals in the year, even so, he received criticism, because there are those who say that in Saudi Arabia it is not worth scoring goals... this is what Ronaldo thinks: "It is difficult to score goals, because be it in Saudi Arabia, Italy, Spain or Portugal. A goal is a goal. In a way, I feel even more proud to have beaten Haaland, Mbappé and Kane (in number of goals during 2023)."

Cristiano Ronaldo jokes about his retirement:

“Some issues that I have had on a personal and professional level make me think in a different way, that is why I always try to focus on the present. I feel good, I'm fine and I'm still capable of scoring some goals, of helping my team and my national team. So I will continue, for now I will continue. When am I going to finish? I don't know to be honest, but it will be soon, in 10 years.
