Don't we realize that players who have entered the end of their careers actually show very good performance and even become a mainstay for their team. There are many names on my list, including Lewandowski, Messi, Ronaldo, and many more. Players who have been considered "finished" can still show that they are still worthy of being a mainstay on their team. These players are like saying that "age is not a barrier".
Without having to say through their own mouths that "age is not a barrier". But in reality "age is not a barrier" for every athlete in any sport because they have to retire when the time comes and regeneration is also always present in any sporting event.
So don't be surprised when those who are old still show very good performances and are still relied on by their team, because besides those who have been very famous through their performances in the past, maybe their wish at this age in their career is to stay stronger before retiring because it will be recorded as a very good history for each of them in the arena of football.
Do you think Ronaldo is still showing his best performance and is still the mainstay of his team?
I'm really not sure because even if Ronaldo is still the mainstay of the team then Ronaldo is still in the Manchester United squad. Apart from that, while playing in Portugal, Ronaldo did not always play full time and in fact, sometimes Ronaldo was only a reserve player and was not included in the starting eleven.
But yes, there are indeed more players who are old and still the mainstay of the team because they can still make a big contribution to the team. Well, let's see how Lewandowski will play in this Europa League, because we know that at least big players and teams will be more excited when playing in the Champions League.
But because at this moment Barcelona will again play in the Europa League but have changes in the squad from last season, then of course the Europa League this time will be more interesting because of course they will show their quality in the Europa League.
