Luis Figo praised Ronaldo! 'He always scores goals'

Luis Figo, one of the legendary names of Portuguese football, said that Cristiano Ronaldo could be the leader of the Portuguese National Team in the 2026 World Cup. Figo emphasised that the star footballer, who is over 40 years old, can still play at a high level despite his advancing age.

Ronaldo, who plays for Saudi Arabian Pro League team Al-Nassr, continued his impressive performance despite his advancing age by exceeding the 30-goal threshold this season. It is known that the world star, who reached 136 goals in 219 matches in his national team career, has no plans to quit the national team in the near future.

"HE SCORES AT 42"
Speaking at an event in Madrid, Luis Figo stated that Ronaldo is an exemplary athlete with his physical condition and mentality and said, "He can start in the first 11 at the 2026 World Cup. He can be a decision maker. But Cristiano is an example to the whole world with his professionalism, talent and work discipline. He can score goals at 40 or 42. He always scores goals. Time will tell how decisive these goals will be. But as the Portuguese, we hope they will always be decisive."
