Juventus ace Cristiano Ronaldo: Retirement? I've many, many years left

Juventus ace Cristiano Ronaldo says retirement hasn't crossed his mind.

The 35-year-old was named Player of the Century at the Globe Soccer Awards on Sunday, having won the Ballon d'Or five times.

“It doesn't matter the age. What is important is the mind," Ronaldo told reporters.

“It doesn't matter if Cristiano Ronaldo is good, you don't know tomorrow what is going to happen. I live in the present, in the moment.

“The moment is good, I feel happy, I feel sharp and in a good moment in my life. I hope to play many, many years more but you never know.

“This is football, we don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. When I speak to young boys I always say 'enjoy the moment' because we never know what will happen. My eyes see the future very, very bright, so I am happy with that."
