In just over a month he’ll be 37 years old. He might not be ready to admit it but tough shit! Time waits for no man!
He won't be seeing that.... this is a world where Brady(44) is probably going to win the NFL MVP and last years winner was 37, LeBron's still elite - also 37, Tiger's somehow remarkably talking about another part time comeback at 46 and like what? 8 career ending injuries, he also won the Masters somehow on the last comeback at 44...Lewis Hamilton is 37, the Big 3 of Tennis are still refusing to go away.
Some of these are individual so easier to fall gracefully and the sports are different, but the ego will see it that way. Forget that Cavani is only 2 years younger too. Elites sportsman are handling their massive mileage much better now - and fair play to them, although it's coming at a massive monetary cost that LeBron covers somewhere - but he says it's worth it, and it is of course, their body is product so do what you can to prolong it - at whatever cost.
I still don't truly understand the RM breakdown at all, probably, reasonably still his best fit over the past 4 years and even now - at the cost of Benzema's great form in place though. Unlikely they'd win a CL in that timeframe, but no more unlikely than if you'd ask me if they'd win 4 in 5 seasons prior... obviously there were breakdowns somewhere and I've not totally read into, but even ageing, that was a team built for him, guess he wanted some cheap trophies.
