Robert Lewandowski, FC Barcelona's star striker and the face of the Polish national team, took the opportunity during his latest national team camp to praise Cristiano Ronaldo's longevity and continued success at 39 years old. Lewandowski, who is also in his own prime at 36, highlighted the historical impact the Portuguese legend has had on the sport, saying that Ronaldo’s achievements and records will be remembered forever.

"I fully acknowledge what Cristiano Ronaldo has accomplished throughout his career and how he's made history with his records. That will be etched in football forever," Lewandowski said. Throughout his career, Ronaldo has shown an unstoppable ambition, which the Polish forward deeply admires. "At almost 40, he still has an incredible hunger to win," he added.

Lewandowski also emphasized how difficult it is to maintain elite performance for so many years, noting that Ronaldo’s achievements are exceptional. "That mentality is what’s brought him to where he is today, and he'll remain a benchmark for years to come," Lewandowski commented. For the Barcelona striker, Cristiano's example is a constant source of inspiration both on and off the field, and he continues to be a role model for future generations of footballers.

These comments come at a pivotal time for Lewandowski, as he continues to cement his own legacy while Poland gears up for their next UEFA Nations League match, where the forward will once again face off against Portugal and the man himself, Cristiano Ronaldo.
