In his last season at Manchester United, before leaving for Real Madrid - 2008/2009 season - Cristiano Ronaldo scored 18 league goals, won the championship with the team and said goodbye with a lot of respect.
Thirteen seasons have passed, and United do not even have a place in the Champions League for next season, but the 37-year-old Portuguese is in great shape and yesterday in the win over Brentford he scored his 18th goal this season.
He came off the field smiling, winning countless flashes and close-ups from the cameras, until he declared to one of them, with a big smile: "I'm not finished."
Free translation into Hebrew: "I'm not done yet."

From here speculations have already taken off to new heights, and commentators are trying to explain what Ronaldo meant: Did he not finish his way at United or did he just declare himself, that he is still at his peak and far from retiring?
Although he is the number one player of the Red Devils and recently did not stop scoring (another goal was withheld from him yesterday due to a borderline claim to differ), many are sure that it is better for the team to embark on a new path next season - without him.
On the other hand, the new coach, the Dutchman Eric Tan the brother, has a big headache on the subject, because it is very difficult to give up one of the two biggest footballers that European football has seen in the last two decades, despite his age.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
