"I don't know. What I always say is to enjoy the moment. The gift is excellent and I have to continue to enjoy it."
Ronaldo, who has shattered almost every record in the game, said there aren't many footballers who have more milestones to their name than him.
"Are there any football players who have more records than me?" he asked. "I don't think there are any footballers who have more records than me."
