Ronaldo and Messi last dance?

Ronaldo and Messi are in their late 30s, and they are edging towards retirement.

The Portugal star is not showing signs of slowing down, though. He is the top scorer in the SPL this season, with 13 goals in 12 appearances, per Transfermarkt.

His stats for 2023 alone are on par with those of Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane and Erling Haaland. Therefore, he may still have a few years before he walks away.

Moreover, he should be part of Portugal's squad for the 2024 European Championship set for next summer. Meanwhile, Messi lit up the MLS when he joined Inter Miami in July. The 36-year-old is also preparing for the 2024 Copa America.
