Cristiano Ronaldo has been named as Uefa's Best Player in Europe for his Champions League-winning heroics with Real Madrid in 2013-14.Continue.....
The
Portuguese, 29, scored a remarkable 17 goals in 11 European games as
Carlo Ancelotti's stormed to the Decima and struck three times en route
to Copa del Rey glory as Madrid completed the cup double.
Though
the Santiago Bernabeu side were less successful in La Liga, Ronaldo
still averaged more than a goal a game (31 efforts in 30 matches) as
they finished third behind Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
The
former Manchester United forward was voted as the best player ahead of
Bayern Munich duo Manuel Neuer and Arjen Robben, who starred as Pep
Guardiola's men lifted four of a possible six trophies last season.
"I'm
really, really happy," Ronaldo said upon being presented the award
following the draw for the 2014-15 Champions League group stage 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."
Ronaldo has already begun the new campaign
in superb fashion, scoring three goals in four games including his
double as Real Madrid defeated Sevilla to win the Uefa Super Cup earlier
in August.
