After receiving the award he said, “For 20 consecutive years I have played and scored as a professional, I didn’t know there was another record to beat.”
“It’s a pleasure to hear about the records, I have achieved all this but without my teammates, without a great team, I would not have achieved these records.”
“It is an exceptional achievement. It gives me the motivation to move forward.”
“To be named the best is a great honour, I hope that this situation is over next year and that we can have more fun, thank you very much.”
“I hope to still be able to play for more years.”
Ronaldo will be 36 in next February. But he has no plans to stop in recent future.
