Michael Owen Praises Cristiano Ronaldo for His Career and Consistent Excellence
Former Premier League star and 2001 Ballon d’Or winner, Michael Owen, has showered praise on Cristiano Ronaldo.
Speaking ahead of Al-Nassr’s Saudi Pro League clash with Al-Akhdoud, Owen described Ronaldo as a player who has defied the limits of time and expectations.
Ronaldo led Al-Nassr to a 3-1 victory over Al-Akhdoud on Thursday, scoring from the penalty spot while teammate Sadio Mane added two goals to seal the win.
Drawing from his own experience, Owen admitted he couldn’t sustain such levels throughout his career.
“It’s absolutely incredible to see how he’s maintained his standards,” Owen remarked.
“I started my first-team career at Liverpool at 17 but retired by 33.
Ronaldo started young too and is still performing at an elite level as he nears 40.”
