Having clinched the Ballon d'Or five times, Ronaldo was named Player of the Century at the Globe Soccer Awards on Sunday.

Ronaldo told reporters: “It doesn't matter the age. What is important is the mind.

“It doesn't matter if Cristiano Ronaldo is good, you don't know tomorrow what is going to happen. I live in the present, in the moment.

“The moment is good, I feel happy, I feel sharp and in a good moment in my life. I hope to play many, many years more but you never know.

“This is football, we don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. When I speak to young boys I always say 'enjoy the moment' because we never know what will happen. My eyes see the future very, very bright, so I am happy with that.”

The 35-year old Portugal international has practically won all trophy at club and international level except one.

He said: “I still dream of the World Cup with Portugal. It’s possible."
