4 reasons for Cristiano Ronaldo's superhuman longevity

#3 Mental strength

Cristiano Ronaldo is unrelenting and unstoppable in the pursuit of his goals

Cristiano's hunger is insatiable. Despite conquering everything there is in football, the 33-year-old behaves like a kid and is always hungry for more goals and success. Even when Ronaldo met with failures initially at Real Madrid, he didn't give in and pursued his dream unrelentingly, which later propelled Los Blancos to unprecedented success in the modern era.

For instance, when Bayern Munich knocked out Real Madrid in the UCL semi-final in 2012, Cristiano was determined to help his team reach their aim. And he stopped at nothing till he became a champion in club football's toughest competition and made history by winning the Champions League three times in a row and four times in five seasons.

Moreover, considering the personal battle of prestigious individual awards like Ballon d'Or. Lionel Messi was ahead by a 4-1 margin at one point of time. But Cristiano is never the man to give up no matter what and it's sensational how he managed to equal Messi's number of Ballon d'Or at five in the last few years.

Besides the fact that Cristiano will not give up, he is always dedicated and motivated to compete with the best. These traits only add to his mental strength and make his will unmatched in the modern era.
