Cristiano Ronaldo Named UEFA Player
Of 2016-2017 Season
Cristiano Ronaldo was named UEFA Player of
the Season for 2016-2017 on Thursday after a campaign which saw the Portuguese
superstar help Real Madrid to the La Liga and Champions League double.
It was the third time that Ronaldo had won the award which was presented on the
sidelines of the Champions League group stage draw.
His great rival Lionel
Messi has won the prize on two occasions and could pave the way for him to
capture a fifth Ballon d’Or title.
“There are the same
goals every year, to meet the same challenges, win everything if possible,
qualify for the World Cup with my national team,” said Ronaldo.
“This trophy will give
me the motivation to keep working hard, never to give up. I am blessed and
delighted to be with Real Madrid.”
Ronaldo won the UEFA
award in 2013-2014 and 2015-2016 and in the Champions League last season, where
Real defeated Juventus 4-1 in the final, he finished as top scorer with 12
goals.
