This Sunday Cristiano Ronaldo was named the best player of the 21st century by the Globe Soccer Awards. A reward that the Portuguese had never yet received, and for good reason, the century is still long. It was this evening that he received his trophy in Dubai in the presence of Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA. The fivefold Golden Ball took the opportunity to deliver a victory speech.
“I just have to thank from the bottom of my heart everyone who voted for me. It’s a great moment in my career, I feel proud and really happy, began the 35-year-old Turinese. It is a great honor for me to receive this award which I have always hoped to win one day. It is a prestigious recognition for the career of a footballer. I am happy to join the list of legends. ”
