Cristiano Ronaldo

The man who has defied science on numerous occasions is already 37 and him playing in the Premier League at this age is a huge achievement itself. The all-time leading goalscorer in the history of football has already told he aims to play the 2024 Euro's but everyone knows the 2026 World Cup is almost impossible. (Image source: Twitter)

Lionel Messi

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner is already 35 years of age and it will hurt any football fan when they would realise that the little magician's chances of playing the next World Cup are very low. (Image source: Twitter)

Neymar

The Brazil superstar is blessed with extraordinary talent but fitness has remained an issue for him during his career so far.
