On June 7, Portugal's national team captain Cristiano Ronaldo said at the pre-match press conference of the UEFA League final that although he received invitations from many participating clubs, he would not participate in the newly established club World Cup that will be held this month.

After Ronaldo's victory in Riyadh, who played for last month, missed the club's World Cup, FIFA President Infantino revealed to the media that Ronaldo may join a team participating in the club's World Cup, and the contract between Ronaldo and Riyadh's victory will expire at the end of June, many people have speculation about his future.

Ronaldo talked about whether to participate in the Club World Cup: "It doesn't matter, the national team is the focus. However, he has received many invitations, some are reasonable and absurd. It is impossible to take into account everything. This decision has been made - I will not participate in the Club World Cup, but I have received many invitations."

"You haven't won the championship for a long time. Do you miss the atmosphere of winning the championship?" Faced with a reporter's question, Ronaldo said, "I do want to lift the trophy. But some seasons just can't win the championship. This is part of football, and it's impossible to win every time. Tomorrow will be the last game of the season. It will be a difficult game, but there is still hope."

In response to the reporters' repeated questions, the "President" also responded to the recent hot topics, and at the beginning he threw out the "king bomb".

Reporter: Who do you think will win the Golden Globe?

Ronaldo: The personal awards have now lost credibility. In my opinion, the Golden Globes should belong to those who have won the Champions League and performed well. But the evaluation standards are now very vague. I actually don’t believe in this type of award because I know some of the truth behind it.

As early as after the 2024 Golden Globe Awards were awarded to Rodri, Ronaldo publicly questioned that Vinicius was more worthy of this honor. "Vinicius scored a goal in the Champions League final and won the Champions League, and he should win the award."

Finally, when asked about the competition with Yamal in the UEFA League final, Ronaldo bluntly stated that you always compare me with whom, and you should let Yamal and Vitinia compare, because the age difference between them is small. You just like to compare me with others and confront others. I only pay attention to our team and help the team win.
