Real Madrid star, Cristiano Ronaldo has become the only player in history to receive the European golden boot award four times. The 30 year-old received the gong today after becoming the highest scorer in Europe’s domestic leagues last season.
Real Madrid President Florentino Perez lauded the Portuguese footballer for the achievement.
“This award goes back to show that we have a unique and exceptional player in Cristiano Ronaldo. He is the only player in history to win the Golden Shoe four times. A few days ago he became Real Madrid’s [joint] all-time leading goalscorer and now Cristiano is picking up his fourth Golden Shoe.
“It is an honour to have him at our club. Cristiano Ronaldo came to Real Madrid to win all that he has won and now he wants more. There is something special about him. Despite winning so many trophies, he always wants more and never gets complacent. Thank you Cristiano Ronaldo, on behalf of all Madridistas, for all you have given us and for all you will give us.”
