Ronaldo - The Greatest Finisher Of All Time
Ronaldo announced his retirement as a football player on Monday, but has revealed to the press he'd like to have one last 'farewell' match with the Brazilian.
Following Corinthians' Copa Libertadores exit, Ronaldo decided to call it quits on a glittering career and will be remembered as one of the greatest strikers in the history of the game. He is the all-time top scorer in World Cup play with 15 goals and was crowned a winner when the Selecao side won the trophy in Korea & Japan in 2002.
"I want to have a beautiful party. I will talk to [Brazilian Football Confederation] president Ricardo Teixeira so that it would be a match with the Brazil team," he told Globo TV.
"I want to reunite the players who played alongside me and play for the public that loved and supported me. These people deserve a farewell."
The 34-year-old last featured for Brazil in the 2006 World Cup and has 62 goals in 97 appearances for the Selecao and his club career spanned stints with Cruzeiro, PSV, Barcelona, Inter, Real Madrid, AC Milan, and Corinthians.

Lionel Messi: Arsenal's Theo Walcott Is ‘One Of The Most Dangerous Players
Lionel Messi has conceded that Barcelona are afraid of Theo Walcott's pace ahead of the Champions League meeting with Arsenal.
The 2010 Ballon d'Or winner recalled the last time the two clubs met on the European stage - last season - when the England international came on as a substitute and helped the Gunners to a 2-2 draw at the Emirates.
"I can only speak from experience but he was one of the most dangerous players I have ever played against," Messi said, according to The Telegraph.
"Barcelona players are not scared easily but I can tell you that when we played Arsenal last season he truly worried us."
He added: "When we were playing Arsenal at the Emirates we were so in control of the game at 2-0, with all respect Arsenal were not even in the game.
"Then Theo came on and changed the game. He pretty much single-handedly salvaged a draw that night."
