Ronaldo rewrites the lifespan of football with paranoid self-discipline, and Allianz Stadium witnesses legendary evolution again

10:56pm, 6 June 2025Football

In the early morning of June 5, Allianz Stadium witnessed the birth of a football legend. Ronaldo, 40, scored the winning goal in the UEFA NBA semi-finals and led Portugal to reverse Germany 2-1, not only ending the team's 25-year curse of "unwinding in Germany", but also pushes his personal myth to a new height with the milestone of the 937th goal in his career. This victory was not only a technical breakthrough, but also a spiritual will. When the crushing of the German chariot seemed unstoppable, Ronaldo scored with a textbook-like encirclement, completely shattering the haze lingering over Portugal's head.

1. Breaking the cocoon: the end of 25 years of "Germanphobia"

This is the sixth time Ronaldo has played against Germany in his career. He has never tasted the taste of victory in the previous five encounters. From the young boy at the 2006 World Cup to the tragic leader of the 2021 European Cup, the German team has always been an insurmountable mountain for him. But in this early morning, when Nuno Mendes thrust open the defense line on the left and Ronaldo appeared in the small penalty area like a ghost, all the waiting turned into ecstasy - the moment he calmly pushed the goal, not only rewritten the score, but also increased the number of goals scored by the individual national team to 137 goals, continuing to set a new record in football. Post-match data showed that Ronaldo shot 7 times and two shots in the game, and the sprint speed was as high as 34km/h, completely subverting the inherent perception of "older players' physical fitness decline."

2. Reverse growth: The victory of science and self-discipline

How terrifying is the 40-year-old Ronaldo? Whoop monitoring shows that his physical age is only 28.9 years old, with an amazing data of 50% muscle content and 7% body fat rate, making countless professional players out of reach. Behind this is almost paranoid self-discipline: anti-gravity recipes with 87 ingredients a day, muscle repair in the -110℃ freezer compartment, and AI-customized header intensive training constitute the scientific code of his "ageless myth". What is even more amazing is that he completely turned his life into a training ground - playing football with his children, walking his dog, and even squats waiting for his children to get off school have become a daily routine of keeping his condition. This attitude of integrating professional spirit into his bloodline makes his sense of smell in the penalty area still as sharp as his peak period.

3. Dynasty in sight: The ultimate test in 4 days. This victory is not only a personal milestone, but also brings Portugal to the UEFA League final. At 3 a.m. on June 9, they will compete with Spain or France for the championship. It is worth noting that this is the 36th time in Ronaldo's career that he has reached the championship. If he wins the championship, he will become the third intercontinental trophy in his national team's career - he has previously led the team to win the 2016 European Cup and 2019 European League championships. Faced with possible opponents, Portugal showed strong tactical flexibility: the world equalizer of Kossen's substitute, Mendes' best offensive and defensive dominance in the game, and the iron-blooded spirit of B's ​​fight with injuries, all prove that this team already has the championship temperament. As coach Martinez said: "Cristiano is not only a scoring machine, but also the soul of the locker room."

4. Legendary revelation: the power of love and persistence

When Ronaldo hugged his teammates with tears, the camera captured the "CR7" tattoo that loomed under his jersey - this symbol that has accompanied him for 20 years has long surpassed his personal achievements and became a spiritual totem. From Manchester United's young boy to Real Madrid's Champions League king, from Juventus' Serie A overlord to Riyadh's "reverse growth" myth, he used 937 goals to interpret what "forever forward" means. In the national team, his 85 goals scored after he was 30 years old is more dazzling than legends such as Puskas and Lewandowski. This hunger for victory allowed him to burst out amazing energy in every adversity - just like this time against Germany, he announced to the world with 7 shots, 2 key passes and 1 gold-like goal: as long as Ronaldo is still running, a miracle can happen forever. The finals in

4 days later may be another turning point in Ronaldo's career. But no matter what the result is, this night of rebirth at Allianz Stadium has become an indelible chapter in football history. When Ronaldo, 40, can still decide the outcome in top events, he is not only setting records, but also redefining the professional life of football players. This is the true meaning of "King of Adversity".
