The thirties are when most footballers retire. It's very hard for footballers to keep performing at such an old age.
Cristiano is a footballer who proves that age is just a number. He ages like fine wine
Note: I won't use 2020/21 season stats as the season isn't over yet.

His numbers in major club competitions (UCL + FIFA CWC) are insane as well.
64 Goals in 66 games, with 58 of those goals coming in the UCL.
His international numbers are even better. In non-friendly games, he scored 42 goals in 41 games.
He doesn't show any signs of stopping.

He doesn't show any signs of stopping.
He set the record for 2nd most and 3rd most UCL goals in a season, as well as most in a year (19).
Also worth noting that Cristiano made FIFPRO World XI and UEFA TOTY 6 times, more than anyone else over 30 years of age. He did this while playing with Real Madrid and Juventus.

Conclusion:
Cristiano had a better trophy win rate, winning 7 major competitions and 2 international trophies.
He also had much more individual awards, better goalscoring numbers, and was ultimately the better player.
Again, he proves age is just a number
