Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated his 40th birthday with family and friends on Wednesday, sharing pictures of the party in a touching Instagram post.
The Portuguese icon, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, has shown no signs of retiring anytime soon at Saudi Arabian giants Al-Nassr as he continues to hunt down his remarkable 1,000-career goals target.
Ronaldo admitted upon turning 40 that his friends mock him for having 'no life', testament to hours of work he puts in every day to maintain his superb physical condition.
He initially celebrated his landmark birthday in unusual style by donning a pair of £4,000 compression boots at his home in Saudi Arabia, equipment that helps his recovery and optimises his athletic performance.
