Cristiano Ronaldo ist offiziell 40 Jahre alt – aber sein Körper sagt etwas ganz anderes!
Laut einer aktuellen Analyse der amerikanischen „Human Performance Company“ Whoop ist der Superstar biologisch gesehen erst 28,9 Jahre alt. Das ergab eine Untersuchung mithilfe von Fitness-Trackern der Firma, in deren Podcast Ronaldo kürzlich zu Gast war.
[–>„Ihr denkt, ihr wisst, wie alt ich bin?“, fragte der Portugiese seine Fans auf X – und präsentierte gleich die erstaunliche Antwort. Fast zwölf Jahre jünger als auf seiner Geburtsurkunde!
Selbst Ronaldo konnte es kaum fassen: „Ich glaube nicht, dass es so gut ist“, sagte er lachend. Und weiter: „Das bedeutet, dass ich noch zehn Jahre spielen kann. Wenn man jung ist, denkt man, man wird ewig leben, dass man immer stark bleiben wird, dass man unzerstörbar ist. Mit 30 ist es nicht mehr dasselbe wie mit 25, besonders im Fußball. Aber ich fühle mich immer noch gut, ich lege viel mehr Wert auf Erholung und Schlaf als früher.“
Doch überraschend ist es nicht: Der Ausnahmeathlet ist bekannt für sein knallhartes Trainingspensum und seinen Lebensstil, der komplett auf Leistung getrimmt ist. Alkohol? Fehlanzeige. Zucker? Tabu. Dafür tägliches Training, Schlaftracking, Eisbäder und Hightech-Ernährung.
Während andere Fußballer mit 40 längst ihre Karriere beendet haben, stürmt Ronaldo noch für Al-Nassr in Saudi-Arabien. Der fünffache Ballon-d’Or-Gewinner hat sich ein klares Ziel gesetzt: 1.000 Tore, bevor er seine Schuhe an den Nagel hängt. Aktuell steht er bei 940 Treffern.
Noch ist unklar, wie es nach dieser Saison weitergeht. Sein Vertrag bei Al-Nassr läuft im Sommer aus – eine Verlängerung ist noch nicht fix, Gerüchte um einen möglichen Wechsel halten sich hartnäckig. Es gibt Spekulationen über die MLS, einen brasilianischen Verein für eine Teilnahme an der Klub-WM oder sogar ein Karriereende in Portugal.
Nach Politik-Karrierestart: Mucki-Mesut wird immer breiter
Fest steht: Cristiano Ronaldo ist kein normaler 40-Jähriger.

For Tottenham Hotspur, Europa League glory is about more than just Champions League qualification
Getty Images It may not have been the longest trophy drought in England, but Tottenham Hotspur's 17-year wait for silverware was the most name-dropped one. The inability to collect winners' medals has loomed large despite their strides over the better part of two decades, and there are many strides to speak of. Since Spurs won the EFL Cup in 2008, they played their first-ever UEFA Champions League season (2010-11), got as high as second place in the Premier League (2016-17), and reached the Champions League final (2019).The narrative has been a clear one – those accomplishments may be important, but without a trophy, there's an asterisk next to them. It would be hard to blame Spurs' players, fans and manager for the moment of catharsis they experienced on Wednesday in Bilbao, when their well-documented trophy drought finally came to an […]
