- With 985 goals, Ronaldo leads the all-time scoring list, ahead of Lionel Messi with 937 and Pelé with 762 goals.
- Ronaldo says he does not diet and allows occasional treats; reported staples include lean meat, fish, and plenty of vegetables.
- In 2025, Ronaldo called sleep his most important tool; he goes to bed between 11 p.m. and midnight and wakes at 8:30 a.m.
- In May 2025, former coach Luis Castro told Sky Sports that Ronaldo's routines, diet, sleep, and recovery contributed to his longevity, in his view.
“His behavior is all tailored towards sports performance — his diet, his sleep, and his recovery. He is a person deeply concerned with eating well, sleeping well and preparing his body properly. In my opinion, this is clearly where Cristiano's longevity comes from.”— Luis Castro, who worked with Ronaldo at Al Nassr, said this to Sky Sports in May 2025.
