Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, who has won numerous titles throughout his career, celebrated his 35th birthday yesterday.
According to the Turin Juventus striker, if it were not for football, he would probably only have been able to dream of a luxurious life.
"What would I have been at 35? I used to think that I would probably be fishing on the island of Madeira. But I don't let such thoughts overwhelm me. I wanted to be a professional footballer, but I never thought I would win as many titles as I did," said C.Ronaldo.
The veteran hoped that the "Serie A" club would succeed in winning the Champions League tournament.
"Representing Juventus gives me a chance to win again. We know it won't be easy and will depend on many factors, but it is possible because we have a good team."
