James Milner's shocking image that humiliated Cristiano Ronaldo

"You need luck, desire, hunger and work rate to stay fit... that's the mindset of wanting to be the best and wanting to make the youngsters feel sick in the running sessions", James Milner on the secrets to staying fit demonstrating that despite his age, his physical condition is privileged. He can also be envied by Cristiano Ronaldo himself, who for now is still without a team after the humiliations he received at Manchester United and the Portugal national team during the World Cup.  

For the Portuguese superstar, seeing his eternal sporting rival win the World Cup really hurt. Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp is well aware of this and has spoken out about the terrible situation Ronaldo is going through, who from now on will live in the shadow of the Argentinian, mainly because of the comparison of who is the best in this last stage of football.

As a result, Liverpool won the Club World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup, but Salah was left out

Ronaldo, who is 37 years old, knows that Qatar 2022 was his last World Cup and that in four years' time in the next edition of USA-Mexico-Canada 2026 it is very difficult for him to be there, knowing that by that summer he will be 41 years old. For Klopp, Ronaldo must accept that in this media battle between him and Messi, the South American has won the tournament.

As Klopp prepares for the Anfield team's return to action, Ronaldo is desperate to find a club that will open its doors to him, and thus be the fifth in his professional career. The Portuguese's situation is complicated, as at his age and at the end of his career, any top team in the world would not take him into account because of the high salary he demands.

<strong>Milner is stronger than Cristiano Ronaldo</strong>

While Messi returns home to do the Olympic lap and speak to his fans, Ronaldo continues to prepare on an individual basis in anticipation of making the official announcement about his career. The latest reports suggest that Ronaldo will remain in Europe to play in his favourite tournament, the UEFA Champions League, where he has five continental titles to his name.
