"I hope I live more than 50 years to learn new things and face different challenges and try to find solutions for them."

"The love of football is the main motive in achieving all the titles I ever won," he added. "There are no special miracles or secrets in my success story or any other success story. Rather, it is a great dedication to what you do.

"At the age of 34, I still have that fitness through diligence and hard work to get titles."

Cristiano Ronaldo, who currently plays for Italian giants Juventus, stated that he sees himself playing in the immediate future. He added that he wants to "continue my studies after retiring from football."
