Inside Cristiano Ronaldo’s 40th birthday gathering: The Portugal superstar enjoys moments with ‘family and friends,’ and a former teammate lightheartedly mocks him for aging

Cristiano Ronaldo marked his 40th birthday on Wednesday with a gathering of family and friends, sharing heartfelt moments from the celebration on Instagram.

Regarded as one of the greatest footballers ever, the Portuguese star shows no signs of slowing down at Al-Nassr, where he continues to pursue his goal of reaching 1,000 career goals.

Upon turning 40, Ronaldo acknowledged that his friends tease him about having “no life,” reflecting the extensive effort he invests daily to maintain his impressive fitness.

He kicked off his milestone birthday in an unconventional manner by wearing £4,000 compression boots at his home in Saudi Arabia, a tool designed to aid recovery and enhance athletic performance.
