Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated his 40th birthday on Wednesday with no signs of slowing down his majestic career.

Despite playing outside Europe at Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo, the highest-paid footballer in the world, is "quite possibly the most famous person in the world", too. His star status is so supreme, that when he does finally hang up his boots, he will surely find ways "not just to sustain his fame but to expand it".

Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal’s national football all-time top scorer and Saudi giant Al Nassr forward, celebrated his 40th birthday with an Instagram post of him getting cryotherapy. Cryotherapy is often used to prevent or relieve muscle pain, sprains and swelling after soft tissue damage or surgery.
