Al Nassr striker Cristiano Ronaldo has hinted at a return to the Champions League.
Ronaldo made the admission as he helped with this season’s league phase draw on Thursday.
The ex-Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus forward was presented with an award for being the all-time top scorer in Champions League history, with 140 goals in the competition.
When teased by UEFA president, Aleksander Čeferin, for not playing in the competition anymore, Ronaldo said: “I play Asian [Champions] League, don’t forget that.
“For me, it is a pleasure to be here. Thank you for this amazing award; it means a lot to me.
“As you know, Champions League, it’s the highest in football. I had an opportunity, not only, you know, the record speaks for itself, but I don’t mean that, I mean the pleasure to play that competition. It’s our motivation.
“[In] football, you never know what’s going to happen. Let’s see what the future brings.”
