Having recently made his 200th international appearance, Cristiano Ronaldo has now made a big admission regarding his playing career.
The 38-year-old has become the first men's footballer to play 200 matches for his country. Although he actually reached the milestone came in June this year, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner was recognised for this achievement during the most recent international break.

Al Nassr fans also decided to honour the striker on Saturday, with the KSU Stadium paying tribute to the marksman with a massive tifo (a choreographed display in which fans raise a large banner together or simultaneously hold up signs that together form a large image) and a mosaic showing Ronaldo wearing the costume of American comic character Captain America.
The former Manchester United star lived up to the occasion on the night, too, scoring a match-winning free-kick to give Al Nassr a 2-1 victory over Damac.
After that game, though, Ronaldo made an important admission about his future.
"I will continue playing for this season and the next, and then I will look at my body if I can continue or not," the former Real Madrid talisman said, according to Sports Manor.
"Today's game was difficult. The fans make me happy and I make them happy.
"I am happy in Saudi Arabia. The hard and great work I do is what brought me to the top.
"I am 38 and I am still helping the team. I am grateful for that."
However, despite the Portugal captain's latest comments, his former teammate at Old Trafford, Dimitar Berbatov, has backed him to play into his forties.
"In Cristiano's case, I think he has the chance to play for another two or three years," the Bulgarian told Betfair.
"People will say that he's playing in a slower league that's not as good as the Premier League but it doesn't matter.
"He's still proving that he's going strong, especially recently with his performances and goals for Portugal. He's helped Portugal qualify for Euro 2024, and one day his last tournament will come, of course, but let's not think about that yet.
"Let's just leave him be and I'm sure he'll surprise us with another decision soon enough. At the moment, Cristiano is going strong so we need to enjoy watching him play until he does decide that enough is enough."
