Names like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, and Karim Benzema, along with a few more names, can sum up this golden age of soccer.

Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo has been going through a rough phase as he witnessed his world cup hope crumble down in front of his eyes in Qatar. That was considered his last world cup as he has been aging. However, in a recent interview, Cristiano Ronaldo has given a glimmer of hope to his fans. He talked about how physically fit he is and how he will continue to play professional soccer.

Karim Benzema is returning from the injuries and yet one of the most shocking statements just came from his trainer. Javier Atalaya claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo would find it hard to follow the routine Karim Benzema is following. Atalaya had worked with Cristiano Ronaldo in his prime when the Portuguese star used to play for the Spanish club.

While giving the update on Benzema’s injury, Atalaya said, “Karim is getting better every day. He is at home, without having anything to do, and he goes down to the gym to train. The Frenchman’s mentality involves improving every day. Even Cristiano could not stand the training that Benzema does.“
