Speaking at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, Ronaldo said: "You never know what is going to happen."
Asked by the presenter if that was a "no", Ronaldo smiled and refused to comment.
"Teams have moments," he then stated. "Difficult times, good times ... City are passing through a difficult moment but I'm 100% sure they will be back."
He added: "I think the big teams, the big players they are smart enough to understand what is the problem, where is the problem.
"I'm sure 100% they will be back. (Pep) Guardiola is a very smart coach. He knows where the problem is coming from. They will be there like always."
