The surprise move in late 2022 shocked many in the football world and prompted widespread doubts about his form.
But Ronaldo, who turned 41 in February, has dismissed any notion of a drop in performance going into next month’s showcase event. And, to help make his case, the goals have kept coming, both for Al-Nassr and with Portugal.
Portugal coach Roberto Martinez said Ronaldo is as hungry as ever and doesn’t see any signs that the star forward has slowed down after moving to Saudi Arabia.
