Liverpool striker Jota: Ronaldo longevity an inspiration

Liverpool striker Diogo Jota admits he draws inspiration from Portugal teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

Jota is encouraged by the longevity of the Al Nassr striker's career.

He said, "When you are young, you make a lot of mistakes.

"And with experience comes knowledge. In this sense, I always look up to Ronaldo. I think he scored more goals after turning 30 than before reaching that age.

"At 26, you can still be far from your peak."
