Joao Cancelo shockingly claims Cristiano Ronaldo is well past his 'peak' as he insists Portugal 'do not depend entirely' on Al-Nassr striker ahead of bid for Euro 2024 glory

Ronaldo celebrated his 39th birthday in February but has shown few signs of slowing down, ending 2023 as the top male goalscorer in the world after netting 54 times. The Al-Nassr superstar will be going for glory again in the summer with Portugal at Euro 2024, although team-mate Cancelo has insisted the national team are not entirely dependent on their ageing captain.

WHAT CANCELO SAID

He told Portuguese network RTP: "He is an important player and spent 15 years competing with Messi for the Ballon d’Or, but the peak of a footballer’s career is between the ages of 25 and 32. He is an important player for us, but the national team does not depend entirely on him.”
