#2 His determination to keep fighting
If there is anything that has actually kept Cristiano Ronaldo on top of the game for the past 11 years, it is definitely his rigid determination to keep on competing at the highest level.
The Portuguese has always been a very ambitious superstar who always embraces challenges and keeps reaching new milestones throughout his career - just as we saw during his time in the Portuguese League, in the Spanish La Liga and in the English Premier League.
As a matter of fact, his decision to quit Real Madrid for Juventus at the age of 33 recently instead of completing a mega-money move to China or the MLS shows that he is truly determined to continue fighting at the top of the game.
With this kind of determination, Ronaldo has been a conqueror throughout his football career and the fact that he is even more determined than ever to add more Ballon d'Or awards to his name means that he cannot be written off just yet.
