Cristiano Ronaldo has officially declined to take part in the Club World Cup this summer. Despite receiving several proposals, the Portuguese superstar opted for rest over action.

I prefer to rest well and prepare properly because the season will be very long, and there’s the World Cup at the end,” Ronaldo told Al Nassr TV.
