Cristiano Ronaldo has been honoured with the 2020 Golden Foot Award, which is an accolade that can only be won once in a player’s career. The likes of Ronaldinho, Ronaldo Nazario, Francesco Totti and Didier Drogba have been immortalised in Monaco with their footprints being recorded permanently.
The award is given out to players who have achieved success not only with their team but also individually. Furthermore, a player’s personality is also something that is taken into account. CR7 has no shortage of either of the factors and is fully deserving of the award.
The 35-year-old managed to score 31 goals in Serie A, behind Ciro Immobile with 36, who went on to win the top scorer award in Serie A, as well as the European Golden Boot.
Overall, the player scored 44 goals for club and country in 2020 and also managed to win the Serie A title with Juventus. With his latest award, Cristiano Ronaldo has managed to gain the edge over Lionel Messi in terms of the diversity of awards that the players have received.
While Messi boasts of winning the Ballon d’Or 6 times in comparison to Ronaldo’s 5, it is without a doubt that Ronaldo edges out the Argentinian in terms of personality and character. The 35-year-old captains Portugal and led his country to the 2016 European Championship victory, as well as the 2019 Nations League trophy.
Ronaldo has managed to achieve success wherever he has gone, with the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester United, as well as Sporting CP forever changed by the presence of the forward.
