Cristiano Ronaldo turned 34 this week and still remains one of the world’s elite footballers.
The Portugal superstar, now with Juventus, has 19 goals in 30 games as he seems on course to add the Serie A title to his considerable collection of silverware.
It’s an impressive feat given some stars can fade, especially after starting his career so early with Sporting Lisbon.
Thanks to the age gap, Ronaldo has, pretty, much always been the best player of his age and is now the top 34-year-old in the world, although team-mate Giorgio Chiellini and Thiago Silva run him close.
