Ronaldo told the publication that this upcoming season is likely his last on the pitch after 25 years of sacrifice.

He noted that he wants to stay busy after hanging up his boots because football can leave a major void.

“This is probably my last year of football, and I want to leave a spectacular legacy,” he told Vogue, saying his future after football was all mapped out.

“I have so many things to keep me busy that to tell you just one thing is hard,” he said, listing travel and padel among his favourite activities.

“Because football could leave a big hole, you have to fill your time in various ways, not just one,” said the former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus forward.
