For many people, when you start taking things a little easier in life, but Cristiano's professional profession of Ronaldo is still strong.
The legendary Portuguese striker turns to the age of forty today, but he still knocks on the goals of victory at a rate similar to his time in Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus and does not look to any sign of his shoes suspending any time soon.
Ronaldo, of course, is not the first player to kick as soon as the thirties end, with the Ballon d'or five times in a number of legendary old warriors in years.
Here are the five best players more than forty -five players who own the game.
Romario
Romario sought 1000 job goals to take Brazilian after the age of forty, as this feat was achieved for Fassco de Gama in 2007.
While the achievement is somewhat disputed, not the least of which is Ronaldo, who is also chasing 1000, due to the fact that his balance includes the goals of young and friendly, it is certain that it is not what must be inhaled.
But what was not contested is the unusual Romario talents, which helped him win the World Cup in 1994 and is considered one of the greatest players of Brazil ever.
In 2008, he retired at the age of 42, who briefly returned to play a game for America from Rio de Janeiro a year later, before raising his extraordinary shoes again last year only at the age of 58.
Gianluigi Buffon
Gianluigi Buffon is truly one of the greatest goalkeepers of all ages not only his talent between sticks but also his longevity.
The strange phase plot began his career with Parma in 1995 before retiring with the same club in 2023 at the age of 44, between achieving almost everything possible for the club and the country.
Buffon joined Juventus to obtain international standard fees for a goalkeeper in 2001, with 10 league titles in Turin and the World Cup with Italy in 2006.
Another league title added to his group with Paris Saint -Germain in 2019 before returning to Juventus for two seasons, then Parma again.
Francesco Totti
There should be something in the water in Italy constantly helping the players challenge the age process, with Francesco Totti, without a doubt one of the best players to do so.
Once again, his talents are not only as a football player or even his longevity, but it is better to remember him, but his loyalty to Rome, where he spent his 24 -year -old career, and as a result he worshiped like a Roman wrestler.
This loyalty means that the prizes he won during his career, which only includes Scudetto one and the victory of two Coppa Italia, is relatively modest compared to others, but he is respected by Rome fans in a perhaps manner.
Also a World Cup winner in 2006, Totti won the champion when he hung his shoes in 2017 at the age of 40 years, eight months and one day.
Ryan Giggs
Regarding English football, no one really approaches Ryan Giggs in terms of time that he starred at the highest level.
Giggs appeared for the first time in Manchester United when he was 17 years old in 1991 as part of the famous “92” category, but he continued to outperform all his teammates over the graduates, where he collected 963 huge matches in the Red Devils.
Wales International played a major role in all victory in the 13th Premier League, in addition to the Champions League victories under Sir Alex Ferguson before retirement after a year of the legendary Scottish director in 2013.
His sparkling career did not end before a short talisman as a player manager, while his 162 decisive pass in the Premier League is still a record for the competition.
Paulo Maldini
Paulo Maldini was another Italian proved that age was only a number he starred for Milan until the day he retired in 41 in 2009.
In a 24-year profession, the middle played against all the likes of Diego Maradona to Lionel Messi and Ronaldo-along with names such as Franco Parisi, Ronaldinho and Kaka.
Maldini achieved the record for the largest DERIE A games with 648 games on the Italian Supreme trip before it was broken by Buffon. In terms of external players, a few of them are not approaching.
The defender retired from international service in 2002 without winning a great honor, but he is more than compensating him in his career in the club, where he won every cup possible with Roussoniri.
