Cristiano Ronaldo's performance with Portugal? Carles Puyol: “Cristiano, who is still an example to follow, even though he is over 40 years old, because he lives for football. The numbers speak for themselves. He's scored 20 goals in 25 games, and those numbers are significant. A player like this has a crucial role in the team, both on and off the pitch, thanks to his global stature.”
