The Bernabéu bigwigs know full well what they have on their hands, which is why they recently handed CR7 a bumper new contract until 2018, making him the poster boy of an entire era at the club.


Real Madrid really hit the jackpot with Cristiano Ronaldo. The €96 million splashed out for the Portuguese star is beginning to look like peanuts, considering he has already scored 214 goals for 'Los Blancos' and has missed just 27 games since signing.
The Bernabéu bigwigs know full well what they have on their hands, which is why they recently handed CR7 a bumper new contract until 2018, making him the poster boy of an entire era at the club.
Some doubters, however, have questioned this move, querying whether the forward will be able to keep up the same standards for the next five years. To get to the bottom of this issue, MARCA caught up with the man who knows Ronaldo's physical condition better than anyone: his trusty physio from the Portuguese national team set-up, Antonio Gaspar.
Gaspar's opinion on the matter could not be more emphatic: "I think an athlete like him can easily carry on until 33. In fact, in his case, I reckon that, barring anything untoward, he will be at the peak of his powers even longer, until 35".
"He's a super-athlete, way above the average in that sense, and he's also a top professional who takes perfect care of himself and doesn't miss a trick when it comes to his diet and recovery time. Real Madrid knows what it's doing, it's not a gamble, and Ronaldo will be at the top of his game until the end of his contract", the physio insists.
