The Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has been a difficult task from his Al-Zakr Club-to win the Champions League of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). This call has become one of the key topics in the career of a 39-year-old forward, which is at the finish line of its legendary path in professional football. However, despite its numerous individual achievements, Ronaldo realizes that maintaining a high level of game alone is no longer possible, and to win he needs support from talented teammates.
According to the sources of Teamtalk, Ronaldo carefully evaluates his future and is at an important stage of his career. His contract with Al-Pomrar ends in June 2025, and although the Portuguese striker still motivated to reach new peaks, his further steps are uncertain. In particular, according to sources, Cristiano considers three possible options: continuing the contract with the Saudi club, returning to Portugal, or leaving football. This third option will be real after he participates in the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico, where Ronaldo can become a captain of Portugal, thereby completing his international career.
Now, however, the main priority for Ronaldo is the conquest of the Champions League of AFC, and he clearly understands that without significant support of his partners he will not be able to achieve this ambitious task. However, even if Al-Zakr wins this trophy, it can force Ronaldo to revise his plans for the future. At the same time, the Portuguese publicly emphasizes that his heart belongs to Al-Pomra and his career at the club has not yet been completed.
Ronaldo joined Al-Zara on December 30, 2022, and since then he had managed to win the Arab Cup of Arab 2023, which became a significant achievement for him and the team. However, victory at the Champions League level is a goal that puts serious challenges to him, and on how Al-Zakra will perform this task, may depend not only on his career in Saudi Arabia, but also the following steps in his football path.
