Georgina Rodriguez wrote a heartfelt note for her partner, Cristiano Ronaldo, to celebrate his milestone birthday. On February 5, the football player turned 40, and to mark the occasion, the acclaimed Argentine-Spanish model took to Instagram to post two photos.

He started out as a skinny winger with floppy hair, quick feet and outrageous skills, wowing the world at the age of 17 after moving to Manchester United. He developed at Real Madrid into perhaps the most famous athlete on the planet and one of soccer’s greatest ever goal-scorers — and is still going strong heading into his fifth decade.

On his 40th birthday, Ronaldo has currently scored 923 career goals, and he is showing no signs of slowing down. In fact, he bagged 460 goals in his thirties alone. Only time will tell if the legend can reach 1,000 goals, but the world will be watching every step of the way.
