Richest Footballer, Ronaldo, Wins UEFA Award

Superstar footballer Cristiano Ronaldo won the UEFA Best Player in Europe Award on Thursday after winning both last season’s Champions League and Euro 2016 with Portugal.

AFP reports that Ronaldo received the accolade for the second time in his career after finishing ahead of Real Madrid team-mate Gareth Bale and Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann.

The award is voted for by journalists from each of UEFA’s 55-member associations. Congrats to him!
