Christiano Ronaldo's mother, Dolores Aveiro, has called on his critics who had suggested her son should retire at age 33, following a run of goal drought that affected the performance of the Los Balncos to try and comment now. The former Manchester United forward has scored 21 goals in just 13 matches as he puts pressure on Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in the Pichichi race.
Ronaldo was heavily criticized by pundits and fans when he failed to sustain his form that saw him defeat Messi and Neymar to win last year's Balon d'Or. His poor run of form also led Real Madrid to falter on the La Liga table with Barcelona taking advantage of the situation.
In response to critics of her son, Dolores Aveiro posted an image celebrating the forward's goal scoring exploits in 2018 with a rather interesting caption.
"Let them now say that Cristiano should retire at 33 years old," the post read.
