This is Cristiano Ronaldo's demanding training before facing Lionel Messi and Inter Miami

CR7 works hard.

On February 5, Cristiano Ronaldo will turn 39. For most soccer players, that would be too old to continue playing at the elite level, but he is a special case. Few athletes in the world have the discipline and winning mentality of the Portuguese striker, who trains harder than younger players and that allows him to remain a star after a 20-year professional career.

Although he is on vacation right now, CR7 does not relax and continues with his strict training routine in the gym. In fact, this week he shared on social media some images of his workouts and surprised everyone. In one video he can be seen in the gym doing a workout to strengthen his back with a pulley system. And then he shared a photo with two dumbbells in front of a mirror, where you can see his impressive physical condition.

Undoubtedly one of Cristiano's short-term goals is to reach 100% fitness for the Riyadh Season Cup. On February 1, Al-Nassr will face Inter Miami in Saudi Arabia, in a match that will be closely followed by fans around the world. This is because it will probably be the last time Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will be on the field together as professional players.

But these will not be the only friendly matches Luis Castro's team will play. Before that, on January 24, they will face Shanghai Shenhua, and four days later they will play against another Chinese team, Zhejiang.

It will be a very demanding 2024 for him

Cristiano Ronaldo has many goals for this year. With Al-Nassr he will try to win the Pro League title, although it is a difficult goal because they are seven points behind Al-Hilal. They are also competing in the Asian Champions League, which awards a place in the Club World Cup. And with the Portugal National Team he will try to win Euro 2024 in Germany.
