Portugal manager Roberto Martinez has explained why he still calls up Cristiano Ronaldo at the age of 40.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner turned 40 last month but is still going strong for Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr and the national team.
Ronaldo is expected to be called up for Portugal's UEFA Nations League quarter-final against Denmark.

"When I talk about a player like Cristiano Ronaldo, I also evaluate him on the basis of these three key aspects," Martinez said, as per Goal.
"His talent is indisputable; he is one of the best in the history of football. His experience is also unique: the only player to play in six European Championships and to have more than 200 international matches.
"But what stands out the most is his commitment. His passion for representing Portugal is contagious and motivates the entire team.
"He is not in the team today for what he has been, but for what he continues to be: the top scorer with 17 goals in the 21 games we have played in two years."
