The 39-year-old has 636 million followers on Instagram, 170 million on Facebook, and 112.5 million followers on X (formerly known as twitter).

Ronaldo has been defying age, and despite being in the last strides of his magnificent career, he has shown no signs of calling it time with his incredible fitness levels.

On the international stage, he was last seen participating in the Euro 2024 tournament in Germany.

Ronaldo is currently preparing for Al-Nassr’s Saudi Pro League opener against Al-Raed on Thursday, August 22.
