Real Madrid ace Ronaldo: Would I play into my 40's? Well,...

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo admits longevity in the game isn't a current priority. Ronaldo, who won his third Ballon d'Or on Monday, has been tipped by agent Jorge Mendes to play into his 40's.

"Well, yes, it's conceivable but, as I said, it's a case of seeing how I feel year after year, how motivated I am and if I'm still useful to my team like in the past.

'As for going on until 40 -if I want to play until then, I will, though I might be dragging myself around by then-, but while I'm playing to an acceptable standard -acceptable to me, that is, and at a level my fans and club deserve- then I want to continue. Honestly, though, it's not something I'm thinking about yet."
