For the fourth time, Real Madrid star, Cristiano Ronaldo won yet again Globe Soccer’s Best Player Award for 2017 on Thursday.

Despite his numerous awards, Ronaldo joked that he still has plenty of room to expand his personal trophy cabinet.
“Don’t worry my friend, I have a lot of space,” Ronaldo, who inspired Real to the Champions League last season, told the show’s host.
“For me it’s a special moment and I feel very happy to receive this award. I have to say thank you to my teammates, to my coach, to Real Madrid.
“It was an amazing year, we won a lot of trophies collective and myself individual, so I’m so glad. Thank you for the people who voted for me — next year, do the same!”
Real were also named best club of the year and Zinedine Zidane was best coach.
“It’s an honour for me and for the club to receive this award,” Zidane told the audience.
“It means things have gone well and worked well.”
