7 reasons why it is time to stop hating Cristiano Ronaldo

#4 At the top at 33

Juventus v Real Madrid - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final Leg One — He did this at 33

Cristiano Ronaldo is 33-years-old and he scores goals like it was nothing for him. Just a few days ago, he scored an acrobatic overhead kick goal to stun the crowd and make them rise on their feet and applaud him.

Not many players can boast about playing at the top level at 33, let alone being the top scorer of his team and being in contention for the European Golden Boot. Just when people had written him off, he came back with the goods in 2018 and showed them one thing: never write him off.

Even if he is 40 years old.

Who knows, the way he is playing now, he might as well continue until that age.
