The former Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo spoke at the Globe Soccer Awards, where he opened up on everything from Saudi Arabia to his retirement.
One of the major characters at the Globe Soccer Awards was Cristiano Ronaldo. On stage with Rúben Dias and Kyle Walker was the captain of Al Nassr. The 2023 top scorer used the occasion to discuss a variety of subjects, including the Champions League, his favourite teams for the competition, and the similarities between Ligue 1 and the Saudi Pro League.
You had the highest score for the year 2023. Imagine me outscoring juvenile animals like Haaland this season—I was the leading scorer. I’m honoured. And I’m almost 39! I enjoy it when I succeed and people start to doubt me again. Criticism does not affect me.

Ronaldo’s feelings on playing in Saudi Arabia
“I’m very happy at Al Nassr, it’s a big step. Saudi Arabia is in a process, it will take a long time… but step by step they will reach the highest level. I think the Saudi Pro League will be among the top three leagues in the world. The people in Arabia will be proud.
Ronaldo has scored 38 goals and registered 13 assists in 44 appearances for Al Nassr since his arrival. He finished 2023 as the world’s top scorer, with 54 goals for club and country.
When will you retire?
The expression “consider twice before you speak” perfectly captures the essence of Cristiano Ronaldo. Many thought he was joining Al Nassr just to make money. However, the actual events differed. At the age of 38, the Al Nassr star became the greatest goal scorer of the year with 54 goals for both club and nation. At the Dubai Globe Soccer Awards, he discussed his accomplishment, saying, “I was the greatest goalscorer this season. Imagine beating young creatures like Haaland. I’m honoured. And I’ll turn 39 shortly!” “I enjoy it when people start to doubt me again and I succeed.” I’m not impacted by the critique.
“The moment I feel I’m done, I’ll retire… maybe in 10 years?!”.
