The Real Madrid star dismissed his critics after being named the best Portuguese player of 2017 on Monday.
Real Madrid and Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo again hit back at his critics after winning yet another individual award.
Ronaldo was named the best Portuguese player of 2017 on Monday, beating Sporting CP goalkeeper Rui Patricio and Manchester City star Bernardo Silva.
The 33-year-old claimed a record-equaling fifth Ballon d’Or last year, having helped Madrid win La Liga and the Champions League.
Ronaldo is finding form again late this campaign and the superstar forward dismissed his critics.
“I am grateful for this award to all those who are here,” he said. “It is also an award for all my colleagues — 2017 was an excellent year, unforgettable both collectively and individually.”
“I also won my fifth Ballon d’Or and my second The Best award. I also dedicate it to my four children. That’s another record — three children in three months.
“We have to defend what is ours because there is always a Portuguese in the fight.
“I always believe and say that I am the best, whatever they say, and then I show it in the field. We are in the fight year after year.”
Ronaldo scored 42 goals in 46 games in all competitions in 2016-17, while he has 37 in 35 so far this season.
He scored four times in a 6-3 win over Girona on Sunday, marking the 50th hat-trick of his career for club and country.
Madrid sit third in La Liga, 15 points behind rivals Barcelona. They resume league play against Las Palmas after the international break before traveling to face Juventus three days later in the first leg of a Champions League quarter-final tie.
He should stop crowning himself. He is certainly not the best.One more thing he should score hatrick against Barcelona and stop the bragging.
For me Christiano Ronaldo is the best ever in the history of football. Both technically and tactically. I love this guy because he is very descent and caring. He doesn’t think of only himself but Others. People see him as arrogant but I think those who are very close to him can say more about him. One thing I like about him is , He doesn’t pretend .He is very real.He is very good. I think one of the secret of his success is The “Mother’s love.” He deserves even more than what he has gotten. I wish to shake him once to congratulate Him. He always want to win and that is a good character of an achiever. Oh my God ! ” The guy is really good ” I think He has rediscovered the game of football.
History will never forget him as far as football is concern. #Christiano #Ronaldo #The #Best.
Barcelona supporters will never like Ronaldo that is now clear but performance in football is not the matter of like or not. Apart from FIFA world cup the next most important cup is Champions league of which Rinaldo has no competitor since football was invented in terms of records
Champions league:
1.Top goal scorer in five consecutive seasons
2.The only player to score 17 goals in one season
3.The only player to score 100 goals for one team
4.The only player to score in all group stage matches and beyond
5.All time top goal scorer
6.The only player to score hat-trick home and away in one season
And the list continues.#Ronaldo simply the best.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA , if you are the best then KING MESSI is what? Comparing you to MESSI is like comparing Bukom Banku to Mayweather. Messi is on another level. World best for 4 consecutive years is not a joke. That’s what we call consistency. You are on and off player, selfish and all is about you alone. Messi is a team player.Have u ever heard Messi boasting and bragging the way you do? People who understand football do the talking for him. A sore loser Ronaldo.
