UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

I think 38 is not a negative for Cristiano.  We watched Zlatan again with his good performance at this age.  Ronaldo can show this performance in the same way.  It just takes a team that believes in it.  He was 37 years old last year and had done well for Manchester United.  Cristiano Ronaldo probably plans to play football until the age of 40.  Later, he can step into his coaching career.

Ronaldo has already said that he believes that 40 years is a good age to retire. I think that this can be regarded as a direct confirmation that he will not end his career earlier.
As for his possible coaching career, I'm not sure about that. He is too ambitious and demanding of himself - if he makes at least 20% of such demands on ordinary players, then this will lead to nothing but conflicts.

Ronaldo is currently in a fairly disappointed condition after failing to bring Portugal to win the world cup, as an ambitious player of course he still has the urge to be able to get a national trophy (world cup) before he retires but for now it seems that the dream has ended, he is getting old old of course will affect his performance and physique a lot so I'm thinking maybe he'll only play 1 or 2 more seasons before he retires, Ronaldo and Zlatan of course we can't equate the two because of course everyone has different physical endurance and I think It's hard to see Ronaldo playing until he's 40 or beyond the way Zlatan did.

Ronaldo playing for Newcastle doesn't look possible to me, Newcastle might no be a 'poor' club, but the take over by the billionaires who bought the club is still relatively recent, and it is yet to have any impact on the team. It would be queer to see Ronaldo playing for a club like Newcastle, it would be a new low in his career and i don't think he will be interested in it. If Ronaldo is to stay in Europe, then it has to be a big club that's playing in the CL, if not it's better he leaves for Saudi Arabia knowing his time in the spotlight/elite football is over.

I always thought that Cristiano Ronaldo would not be allowed to play in the Champions League this season anymore because he already participated in a european club championship this year with Manchester United. I just searched that up though and i found out that he could still play Champions League for another club because he is only suspended to play Europa League this season and i doubt he wants to play there anymore anyway. I also think that he will choose a club where he can play Champions League over any offer from other clubs even if those other clubs are offering way more money. Nowadays CR7 is only playing to set new records or to improve the ones that he already reached.

The rules regarding players for the Champions League have indeed changed and are not like they were in the past. Because at this time, even if the player previously played in the Champions League for example in team A and then moved to team B which also played in the Champions League, then the player would still be able to play. What's more about Ronaldo, who previously only played in the European League, so if in the transfer market later Ronaldo plays in a team that plays in the Champions League then of course Ronaldo will be able to play directly in the Champions League.
So there is no longer a problem if Ronaldo wants to play in the Champions League again this season, but the problem is that not many big teams playing in the Champions League are currently interested in recruiting Ronaldo.

But about Newcastle I think Ronaldo deserves to play there, even though this season Newcastle is not playing in Europe but next season I am very sure Newcastle will play in Europe whether it's in the Europa League or in the Champions League.
Because it would be useless if, for example, Ronaldo joined Chelsea and played in the Champions League this season, but for next season Chelsea will not play in the Champions League because Chelsea failed to finish in the top four. So yes, playing at Newcastle for Ronaldo for now I think it's still the right choice, because Newcastle have developed very much so far.

I think whether a player retires depends on the fitness of player. Ronaldo may not be in the best form right now, but Ronaldo's fitness is still very good. He can still be on the field for 90 minutes. And so I think he will be able to perform consistently for a few more years. He doesn't face many injuries. We have seen Ibra, even at the age of 40, he has not retired. I think Ronaldo will play for at least 40 years unless some accident happens.

no need to wait 40 years it seems that Ronaldo game yesterday was also not visible when he was young maybe his performance has decreased even the way he plays is not as good as it used to be when he was young and maybe it's because of his current age, I think even though he continued his career in football to 40 years old not sure he will get minutes to play long on the pitch at any club

In fact, I see the opposite, a coach must have the characteristics that Cristiano Ronaldo has, hard work, ambition and do his best. He has a very good mentality, so he can apply that to his players at the club later. He has always been someone who motivates other players where he is, that can be seen now with so many young players who are motivated by him. This is a good capital to continue his career as a football coach.
It will be his decision whether he wants to be a coach or not in football after he retires. But to be honest, I want to see when he becomes a coach, will he have the same success as a player or not.

If comparing with Ibrahimovic then it is very different. Looking at their way of playing is also very different. Ibrahimovic didn't put out much skill to get past opponents and he made the most of the ball finishing. Unlike Ronaldo, in his youth he ran a lot and passed opponents, and at the moment it is not very noticeable because his physique does not support it. So it feels like Ibrahimovic is kind of better in old age than Ronaldo. Of course, Ronaldo should be able to model Ibrahimovic's way of playing, not moving much but having the best finishing. At the moment it is best, because improving abilities will already not be able to, because of its age.

The basic difference between the two is the position they play. Ronaldo tends to play as a winger instead of a center forward because of his skill at dribbling. Ibrahimovic tends to play at centre-forward and waits for accurate passes from various angles, he is much like Haaland.

I don't know why we have to compare Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic, they are both different and that is clear. If Ronaldo walked more than he ran, then I'm sure he wouldn't find himself getting played. He is not the same as Messi, nor is he the same as any other player. Ronaldo needs to move, there he is.

It's true, Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic play differently.  But Ronaldo does not necessarily have to model Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic plays an easy pattern of football and in every aspect, it works for him. Ronaldo applies much skill in football and it works for him. If Ronaldo can't get what he wants with his pattern then so be it. But I Don't Think modeling Ibrahimovic at this old age will be a solution because naturally it wasn't his pattern and as such will make things more difficult for him.

Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo should not be compared. Ibrahimovic hasn't retired yet. He is still with the AC Milan squad. Firstly I would say Ibrahimovic can motivate players. As a result, the players become more confident. As a result their overall performance is better. On the other hand, Ibrahimovic's wages are not as high as Ronaldo's. So even if teams like Milan keep Ibrahimovic in their squad, there are very few clubs who can afford Ronaldo's wages. Also, Ibra and Ronaldo's style of play is completely different.

Yes exactly, Ibrahimovic and Haaland are really similar. Ronaldo plays in another kind of way. If we can compare Ronaldo to someone, I would like to do it with Mbappe (comparable to a younger ronaldo). It seems the most

sensitive comparison to be done. Anyway, hope that Ronaldo will reconsider his position, he's becoming ridicolous.

It doesn't feel like Ronaldo will be able to find a team for himself which is already in the Champions League now. Because there is no such team having serious interest in signing him these days. There is still time for even the start of the transfer window of course but I'm not very hopeful about that. The only team I've heard of in Europe is Newcastle for now. If Ronaldo is ready to be patient he should sign a deal with them. They are already doing great in the EPL and they have a potential for the CL.

Otherwise Ronaldo seems really likely to go outside Europe, especially that Saudi Arabia team Al-Nassr.

everything is just rumors there is no definite certainty which team is really serious about signing Ronaldo in the January window. newcastle united which has quite good finances and its performance in the domestic league is also good so that the media associates it with ronaldo in the transfer market. Ronaldo does have a great desire to be able to play in the champions league in his new team, so that will be the main point he will rely on in the future. On the chelsea side they are looking for a sticker with more experience this season but the arrival of Aubameyang was not a big impact but not a bad performance but he needs time to make a big contribution. whether chelsea signing ronaldo in the january window is worth the wait.

It cannot be denied that at Ronaldo's age of 38, he has nothing more to give to his country or the club he will join later. He's had a really hard time adapting to the young players and before at Manchester United it was all obvious. With his declining form it seems that it will be difficult for him to be the lone striker up front, maybe in my opinion he is more suitable as a second striker as a close pass for strikers who are younger than him. Of course, even if there is an offer from a club that is in the UCL zone this season.

[Zackgeno96]

Now that the World Cup has come to an end, the next big event is the Cl. It's a pity that it will take so long before we see the eighth finals, but that's how the calendar is set. Maybe it will also work out well for certain players and clubs. The bookmakers are pretty sure that Liverpool will go through to the next round, I think it's a dangerous division for Liverpool. Maybe for the Liverpool of a few years ago, but not for the current team in this form. Liverpool have about a month to get into shape for the meeting with Real Madrid.

I don't think so. Newcastle prefers to give an offer for memphis depay rather than ronaldo. I know that both can also play as left wing but depay is far younger compared with ronaldo and eddie how has said that a few months ago if the club was not looking for an old player like ronaldo. In my opinion if you can sign young talented player that has more years to play for the club and why does newcastle need waste its money to sign an old player like ronaldo? Eddie howe itself already confirmed not interested with ronaldo.

What don't you think so? Your post is so unrelated with mine and has nothing to do with what i posted, i made it clear that i don't think it is possible for Ronaldo to play for Newcastle because they are not a club that has enough class to house a great player like Ronaldo. By the way, i haven't heard of any offer from Newcastle for Memphis Depay, i have no idea if they are interested in the Dutch player, but despite the fact that Depay is way much younger, i would still pick Ronaldo at his present age over him, i'd rather have an effective Ronaldo for two years or so, than sign Depay and later loan or sell him out after a couple of seasons because he could not adapt.

Newcastle have had a great showing in the English Premier League this season... I hope they don't miss out on the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League before the end of the season... It would be interesting to see Ronaldo, as he's been around the EPL for a long time... If he gets to Newcastle, he will still have a chance to show what he can do in the big competitions... But probably because of his age, not many clubs want to sign him... He wasn't as good at the World Cup as he used to be...

[RealMalatesta]

Could he also consider going to a club with a slightly lesser status such as Chelsea to still play CL?

I guess, the best thing for cristiano Ronaldo to do now, is to resign to receive a beautiful honor from the world, and to look for a coaching job to raise more potential players that will make the world to celebrate him than looking for a club to join after the disgrace Manchester united coach gave to him by eliminated his contract. I don't think, Chelsea coach will allow someone that is above 28 age in their team, because cristiano Ronaldo is almost 38 age now, which it will be difficult for any team to accept such player in their team.

I think 38 is not a negative for Cristiano.  We watched Zlatan again with his good performance at this age.  Ronaldo can show this performance in the same way.  It just takes a team that believes in it.  He was 37 years old last year and had done well for Manchester United.  Cristiano Ronaldo probably plans to play football until the age of 40.  Later, he can step into his coaching career.

It may not be a negative, but Ibrahimovic wasn't there because of his amazing goal scoring or just his talents, dude was there as a leader of the team, Ronaldo lost that with his latest United period. He didn't looked like a leader, he looked like a guy who wanted stats more than anything else and last year he played amazingly, dude even had a few hattricks.

So, it is easy to say he is not that terrible now neither, but he doesn't look like a good locker room guy and that could be an issue. Plus any great team that is fighting for UCL title would want someone with less media attention around him, and that is why it's not an easy task. I think it would be better for him to go outside of Europe for a while and then retire, or at least go back to his origins, to Lisbon if I am not wrong and just play there.

PSG has always been believed to win everything, especially in the Champions League because there are many star players in the squad but that didn't break them so they had to be eliminated by Real Madrid, but this time PSG was also tested quite hard against Bayern Munich at this stage even me I think PSG should be able to surpass this match, especially since several important Bayern Munich players are injured, it will be a good opportunity for PSG, apart from several players Mbappe and Neymar have led their team to the World Cup final.
I just want to see how PSG have to go on after spending a lot of money on star players, if they fail again it means PSG haven't found their identity in the UCL.

PSG is clearly well decorated club in UEFA with having the biggest quality players pool and luxury of funds through Arab connections but still there is nothing predictable about their future in Champions League because they are doing their best for this title but sadly having nothing positive in last few years, but now situation is completely different for them because their opponent is having issues and their frontline is clearly working better which is positive development for them if they are able to beat Bayern Munich then surely this could be best ever thing for them and improve their chances for the win in this event but still they also have to wait for few other results as well because few more teams are having enough quality for win the race.

When you talk about wealthy clubs there is no way of missing out PSG, PSG is a very wealthy club, they have the financial power and influence in the world of football and in terms of squad quality they have the beat players in the world, Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, Hakimi etc but the sad thing is with all these top players they find it so difficult to achieve the Champions league trophy. They will try again this season to win it.

maybe psg can take advantage of the weakness of the injuries that hit the bayern munich players. Sadio Mane and Neuer, the two main Bayern Munich players, had to rest because of the injuries they had. It's hard to say that Bayern Munich will be able to provide a good fight in the match if we look at the very strong PSG squad this season. but the match on the pitch will be the answer in 90 minutes. but my prediction is that psg will be able to win this match because psg is stressed by the owner to be able to win the champions league and messi, mbappe and neymar will definitely answer that pressure by giving victory in every game.

psg is a club the majority of their players are very qualified of course the game between psg and bayern munich will be like the fake final presented earlier in the champions league this season.

Haaland definitely resembles Ibrahimovic with his playing style. Even his amazing goal against Dortmund in the Champions League directly reminded me of Ibrahimovic's similar goals in his career. Ibrahimovic scored so many very impressive goals like that so far. It feels nice to see Haaland sharing a skill with one of the best strikers like Ibrahimovic. In the end, this kind of great players are getting close to the end of their careers on one hand. It would be really nice to see them in younger and talented players as well.

Haaland is a candidate to be one of the legends already now. He needs to keep this level for many more years to be called as a legend. His finishing skills are amazingly good and I don't see any match for him among the players who are playing football actively now.
