Ronaldo won the Champions League with Real Madrid and also played a key part in Portugal winning this year’s EURO. He is a CONSISTENT PERFORMER and that is an admirable asset in today’s football.
Cristiano Ronaldo added another well-deserved feather to his cap, winning his second UEFA Player of the Year award. It was a hard decision to make for the European governing body and after many deliberations and media speculations they gave it to the most worthy candidate.
Ronaldo won the Champions League with Real Madrid and also played a key part in Portugal winning this year’s EURO. He is a consistent performer and that is an admirable asset in today’s football.
GARETH BALE, Ronaldo’s Real team-mate, came a close second, while city rival Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann came third. Like Ronaldo, Bale played a major part in Real winning the Champions League and the Wales international is blooming into a fine footballer, performing admirably for his country in the EURO too.
Griezmann had a great season as well for Atletico and was on fire for France at the quadrennial championship. He was definitely one of the standout performers at the EURO and deserves credit for being an all round goal-scorer.
