Ronaldo bags Best Player in Europe award

Portugal and Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the best player in Europe ahead of  Arjen Robben and Manuel Neuer.

He won the Champions League trophy with Real Madrid in the 2013/2014 season, scoring the last goal of the game as the Spanish giants claimed the La Decima.

“I’m really, really happy,” Ronaldo said after receiving the award on Thursday.

“I have to say thank you to my team-mates, to my family, my friends. I don’t have this trophy in my museum – I’ll put it there straight away.”

Ronaldo netted an astonishing 17 goals in 11 European matches.
