Cristiano Ronaldo faced a lot of criticism for his performance in the World Cup at the age of 41, especially from internet users who compare him to another legend, Lionel Messi, who demonstrated better statistics.

Some football experts also found C. Ronaldo's game unconvincing, while Thierry Henry defended the Portuguese player.

T. Henry said: "Many great players have not won the World Cup, but that does not change their legacy in football.

I wish Ronaldo all the best. I hope that Cristiano crosses the 1000 goals mark. He has inspired many kids, especially with his lifestyle and passion for football.

He is an example for all players,” said the French football legend about C. Ronaldo.
