Juventus ace Cristiano Ronaldo insists he's not thinking of retirement

Juventus ace Cristiano Ronaldo insists retirement is not in his thoughts.

Now 34, the former Real Madrid star was asked if he would walk away from the game should Barcelona rival Lionel Messi retire.

Ronaldo declared, "Retire at the same time as Messi? He is younger than me by two years.

"But I think I'm still pretty good for my age. I am not bad. So I hope to be here again next year, and the next year and again the next year ... So people who do not like me will see me still here."

Ronaldo's deal with Juve runs to 2022.
