Ronaldo named UEFA’s Best Player in Europe

Cristiano Ronaldo has beaten off competition from Arjen Robben and Manuel Neuer, to be named UEFA’s Best Player in Europe. The Portuguese forward 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 finally.

“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.” 
 In total, Ronaldo netted an astonishing 17 goals in 11 European games and also score three times as Madrid clinched the Copa del Rey, to complete a cup double.
