Recently, he confirmed that this year’s World Cup was the last of his career.

However, he had left open the question of when he would definitively hang up his boots.

Still during the interview with Vogue, which revealed details about his marriage to Georgina Rodríguez, the forward said he intends to spend more time with his family when he leaves football.

"I have so many things to keep me busy that it’s hard to name just one. Football can leave a huge void, so you have to fill your time in several ways, not just one. And also enjoy yourself more, travel more, watch and play padel, which I really like, and keep enjoying what I have achieved — and what we have achieved. At the end of the day, it has been 25 years of a lot of sacrifice," he explained.

One of the goals Ronaldo is still expected to pursue until the end of his career on the pitch is his 1,000th goal.

At the moment, he has 976 in his entire career.
