With Cristiano Ronaldo recently speaking about the topic of retirement, fans on social media made their voices heard over the prospect of "CR7" hanging up his boots. Check it out!

Speaking in an interview with TVI recently, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner boldly mentioned that he could put a stop to his playing career as early as next season, but in the same breath, indicated that he could well play into his early 40s.

The 34-year-old is considered to be one of football's genetic freaks, and has showed no signs of slowing down as he heads into the twilight period of his career.

Since he made these retirement proclamations, though, fans have reacted in numbers on Twitter.

After #Ronaldo and #Messi retire, 30 to 35 goals-a-season will become a big thing again. These guys ruined football in the best way possible.

In a way i cant wait till Messi and Ronaldo retire to see how the football world will be without them.

I mean, Messi will probably retire before Ronaldo and Ronaldo will still have the better stats. He is a better athlete I don’t know why people can’t see that, or accept it.

The day Ronaldo will retire from football I will cry for complete one hour. He's a motivation to me "hardwork equals talent"

The phase of football will never be the same after Ronaldo / Messi retire. There can’t be any duo that can replicate them. They started without putting money first. Footballers these days put the money first before the game.
