Another day, another award - and Ronaldo wants more
In a year that saw him add international honours to his remarkable success story, Cristiano Ronaldo has picked up another award.
Cristiano Ronaldo remains as motivated as ever to add to his legend after the Real Madrid star was named the best player in LaLiga for the 2015-16 season by Marca.
The 31-year-old won the Spanish newspaper's Alfredo Di Stefano award on Monday to celebrate his new five-year contract with the European champions.
And, having also won Euro 2016 with Portugal, Ronaldo still has the desire to get better.
"[The 2015-16 season] was filled with many emotions with the Champions League and the European Championship," he said.
"Today has also been a very special day with my contract renewal and a prize from Marca, what else I can ask for?
"I'm very happy. This motivates me to keep working and get better in the next few years."
Ronaldo also assessed what looks set to be a tight title race, with Zinedine Zidane's side leading the way by two points from champions Barcelona.
