Cristiano Ronaldo’s dominance of Portuguese football has continued, with the Juventus superstar named his country’s Player of the Year for a record-extending 10th time.
At 34 years of age, an iconic figure has shown no sign of slowing down and he remains the standout performer in his homeland, as he has been for well over a decade now.
Since first landing the Portuguese Player of the Year prize in 2007, Ronaldo has enjoyed an almost faultless monopoly of the silverware.
Across 12 years, there have only been two occasions in which he has been knocked from the summit, with Simao and Pepe the only men to have pipped Ronaldo to a prestigious gong.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is now into double figures on his personal roll of honour, with some distinguished opposition edged out to take the latest award.
Manchester City playmaker Bernardo Silva and Atletico Madrid new boy Joao Felix were among the other contenders, along with midfield duo Bruno Fernandes and Ruben Neves of Sporting and Wolves respectively.
None were able to get close to Ronaldo, with another honour coming his way in a 12-month period which has already delivered a Serie A title at Juve and a Nations League crown with
Portugal. (Goal)
