“Unfortunately, his sunspot every day was a bit down from me and I made sure to stay away from him because he was in incredible shape, so I gave him a little bit of distance!

"I pulled him over [as] I wanted my son to have a picture because of the player he’s been.

"I noticed he was going to the gym twice a day with his personal trainer. Just shows you his dedication to what he does."

Ronaldo is currently with the Portugal team at EURO 2024 in what could be his last international tournament.
