Cristiano
Ronaldo done it again! He has won the Goal 50 award for the world’s best
footballer after a magnificent 2013-14 season; making it the third time in six
years.
The Real
Madrid forward claims the title for the third time in recognition of an
incredible campaign during which he led his club to a long-awaited 10th
Champions League crown.
The
29-year-old, who also bagged the Copa del Rey, struck 51 goals in all
competitions for his club.Continue..
After
receiving the trophy, Ronaldo said: "It’s a very big honour for me to have
been chosen as the best player. I’m sincerely grateful.
"I’m
convinced that I wouldn’t have been able to win this award without the constant
support from all the people at Real Madrid."
Note that the
Goal 50 is regarded as one of the most credible and respected awards in sport
because it is chosen by the world’s biggest football website.
Voting takes
place at the end of domestic and international seasons for the majority of
countries.
More than
600 Goal journalists from our 35 editions around the world vote to select their
top 50 players, giving a truly global view.
Ronaldo
heads this year's list in front of second-placed Arjen Robben, who starred for
Netherlands at the World Cup and helped Bayern to four trophies in 2013-14.
Last year’s winner Lionel Messi finished third after another prolific season
for club and country.
Commenting
on the results, Graham Shaw, Editorial Director, said: "Goal 50 gives a
truly global view on the players who have lit up an epic season.
Congratulations to Cristiano Ronaldo who fully deserves to top this year's list
after a sensational campaign."
