Footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo has won the 2015/2016 best
player in the Champions League award as voted by Spanish
and Italian sports papers MARCA and Gazzetta Dello Sport
after scoring 16 goals ( 51 in all competitions) to help Real
Madrid claim an 11th European Cup/Champions League
title, which together with his country's triumph at Euro 2016
also makes him the number one favourite to reclaim the
Ballon d'Or.
'I've won the Champions League and the Euros, it's a
beautiful moment in my career and my sporting life,' Ronaldo
said at the AC Hotel La Finca in Madrid.
'It just makes me want to keep working hard for this
club. I hope to remain at Real Madrid for years to
come,' Ronaldo said. 'This is the club I love. We have
a big squad that can cover for Luka Modric and
Sergio Ramos' injuries- it'll be difficult but Real have
the quality.
Posting a photo of him carrying the prestigious award on his
Instagram page, he captioned it:
'Gracias/Grazie to the readers of Marca and Gazzetta
dello Sport for this award. Wouldn't have been
possible without my team mates. Thank you all!'
