Cristiano Ronaldo he screams but no Champions team claims him. What everyone wants now, apparently, no one wants. They can say that not a long line of great in Europe: Bayern, Chelsea, Inter, Milan, Atletico… Although, as the offended Portuguese denounced on Instagram, many things are said by the rumors and in a few weeks he himself will be in charge of telling the truth.
His wages and above all, his 37 years and half is vague on his resume to sell to any other great but his current goalscoring record suggests that Cristiano is not done and he has the right to choose, which is not Madeira in the area in an hour of time managed to take care of its intelligence and humility to develop in a gradual and natural way a skilled extreme in a devastating striker and its passion and devotion to diet and an intense physical that work thanks to the part that never went away more than four consecutive games Since 2010, sacrifices have been encouraged by the excessive ambition that governs him.
Another great striker of the 21st century at 37 years old
Retired: Ronaldo Nazario, Thierry Henry, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Andriy Shevchenko, Roy Makaay, Alan Shearer, Robin Van Persie and Fernando Torres.
In the minor leagues: Alessandro del Piero, David Trezeguet, Raúl González, Didier Drogba, David Villa and Diego Forlán.
Even away from that striker who came between 50 and 60 goals every season at Real Madrid, the numbers continue to elevate Cristiano as one of the best current strikers and continue to elevate him further. another stage forward.
Their 18 goals in the Premier League last season they went on record for their worst league mark since the 08-09 season, their last at United before leaving for Madrid. It could be seen as a symptom of decline, but the truth is that the 37-year-old Cristiano back at United has improved from last year’s first spell as a red devil – with 24 years-which required three less games -30 against 33-, and shows a better scoring average in all competitions: 26 goals in 53 games that year (0.49) and 24 in 38 in the latter (0.63) .
Some 18 goals in an unstable season for United with two coaches -Solskjaer and Rangnick-, and with whom he is third in the table of top scorers in the Premier to surpass younger scorers who have played more games such as Harry Kane (29 years old and 17 goals in 37 games) and Sadio Mane (30 years and 16 goals in 34 days). Almost a year and three months ago, the man from Madeira closed his time at Juventus in the 20-21 season with 29 goals in Serie A at the age of 36 to finish third in the Golden Shoe just after Robert Lewandowski (41 goals) and Leo Messi (30).
The amazingly anomalous thing about Cristiano is that, after ‘normalising’ the huge numbers of his best years, his current number of goals is what other vintage strikers of this century used to score to celebrate in their youth. Not to mention that, while CR7 with 37 ‘tacos’ is a restless ‘young man’ who does not stop celebrating goals and gives trouble playing Championsthe battering rams in style when he started are either retired or in full golden retirement in the minor leagues: Ronaldo Nazario (1976), Thierry Henry (1977), Ruud Van Nistelrooy (1976), Andriy Shevchenko (1976), Roy Makaay (1975) and Alan Shearer (1970) have all retired and for their part, Alessandro DelPiero (1974) played for Sydney FC, David Trezeguet (1977) for Pune City Indio, Raoul (1977) with the New York Cosmos of MLS and Didier Drogba (1978) with the Montreal Impact Canadians.
Over the same other points closest to CR7 by age: Samuel Eto’o (1981) is a member of Turkish Konyaspor, David Villa (1981) in the Japanese Vissel Kobe, Fernando Torres (1984) has been removed after hanging up the boots with 35 in Sagan Tosu Japanese and Diego Forlan (1979) played for Peñarol in Uruguay. There is also a case of Robin Van Persie (1983), who retired at the age of 34. But it’s not just age, but how Cristiano insists on denying it to sign more personal or better records of all the artists who make a goal in their era .
In the aforementioned 20-21 season, Cristiano, who turned 36 that year, scored 29 goals in Serie A with Juventus, a figure in the same campaign in a major league that they did not reach even in their prime. Del Piero, Raúl, Villa, Trezeguet, Van Nistelrooy, Fernando Torres and Shevchenko. Registration that surpassed only Ronaldo, Henry, Eto’o and Van Persie and equaled Drugba.

And, with 24 goals in 38 games signed last year one of its most careful times ever, the Portuguese signed an average of 0.63 goals per game, still higher than the average of all these strikers in the set of their best seasons except for 0.65 of That’s it in Barça and the 0.68 of Van Nistelroy at United. Another statistic in which Cristiano dominates all is the number of goals scored in the major leagues from the season in which he turned 35. Many did not make that list because they retired or competed in the minors. age championship, so they can hardly compete with CR7 in this classification. Del Piero, Raúl, Van Nistelrooy and Drogba. Cristiano has scored since the 19/20 season -the campaign in which he turned 35-, 97 goals in 131 games, which equates to an average of 0.74, which is higher than the players mentioned, as can be seen in the table below .
It also included, although he was never a striker of big numbers at club level, in Miroslav is closepassed the leading scorer in the history of World Cups for several good years at Lazio, in Aritz Aduriz -What lived his best season in 35 years in Athletic-, that Francesco Tottidespite being a pure scorer retired from Roma at the age of 40.

Cristiano’s performance is higher at this age than other great scorers in history as Pele (1940), Gerd Müller (1945), Hugo Sanchez (1958), Eusebius (1942), George Best (1946) and Romario (1966). of the Portuguese in aging at other points in the present century.
However, with exceptions surprising but worthy of his genius, Not Stefano (1926) and Puskas (1927) exceeded logic and goals continued to fall at Real Madrid beyond the age of 35 in 1960. The Hungarian’s tally in three seasons played since the year 35 exceeded Cristiano’s tally with 98 goals in 112 matches, though not that of the Argentine, who has 74 goals in 104 games. In absolute terms, beyond the fact that the Portuguese is the top scorer in Real Madrid’s history with 450 goals, his brutal average of 1.03 purpose per match at the White Club is higher than Di Stéfano (0.78) and Puskas (0.92).
Little competition from active scorers aged 35 and over
Leo Messi (1987), although injuries last year kept him from scoring 11 goals in 34 games, he terrorized PSG with Neymar and Mbappebut other active strikers aged 35 or over who have given a name to the goal in Europe, especially in the last decade, are at a lower or lower level of competition than Cristiano: Luis Suarez (1987) returned to Nacional de Montevideo, Gonzalo Higuain (1987) plays for Inter Miami of the MLS and Radamel Falcao (1986) returned to LaLiga last year but with a mid-table team like Rayo Vallecano, which, yes, now it would be wrong to describe as ‘modest’ because neither United nor Barça did Iraola’s last month.
Those approaching the privileged position of Cristiano are Cavani (1987), now there is no team after not renewing United, and endlessly Zlatan Ibrahimovic (1981), convalescent in Milan of an anterior cross ligament break. Soon to be 41 and not counting two seasons with the Los Angeles Galaxy, the Swede also does not surpass CR7: 65 goals in 127 games for an average of 0.51, less than the Portuguese’s 0.74 in his 97 in 131 games. Another long-time goalscorer like Fabio Quagliarella (1983), at Sampdoria, is also inferior to the Portuguese considering the period between 35 and 37 years old, with 57 goals in 104 games (average of 0.54).
Proclaimed the maximum gunner in the history of football with 815 goals although Messi is on tour with 772, Cristiano continues to be a ‘killer’ of enormous magnitude and, instead of dwelling on all he has scored, he wants to continue expanding his gallery. they will be marked as long as he wants and wherever he wants.
