Cristiano Ronaldo will be 41 years old when the 2026 World Cup kicks off in Canada, Mexico, and the United States-which creates a question: will the former Real Madrid and Manchester United star make it into the Portugal squad if they qualify? One thing is sure: with his view set on finishing 1,000 career goals, CR7 is gradually inching closer to this mighty milestone.
Ronaldo’s World Cup career started in Germany in 2006, and he is the only player who has scored in five different World Cup tournaments. He has scored eight goals in 22 World Cup matches, making him a part of the history of the tournament.
What Did Bruno Fernandes Say?
“I not only believe it, but I am almost certain that he will be there. It would be beautiful for Cristiano Ronaldo to fulfill his dream of winning the World Cup with the National Team. Not just for him, but for us Portuguese,” revealed Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes on TNT Sports Mexico.
“Cristiano Ronaldo dreams of winning the World Cup, and we’ll do everything to make it happen for him. I believe he will be there in 2026.” Joao Felix another teammate also went forward with the same opinion
Ronaldo is continuing to break records as the only player in football history to score goals in 24 consecutive years, starting from his debut in 2002. That only goes on to prove the extraordinary longevity and consistency with which he has delivered over the years, and for which he remains one of the greatest footballers of all time.
