Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo is the absolute winner for the second year in a row. “I want to thank all my teammates who made this victory possible and all the players who voted for me. Constancy, confidence in one’s own means, work and passion are the secrets to enjoying football. Then motivation and discipline count, without which one cannot think of continuing at 34, 35, 36 or 40 years. It has been a positive and strange year at the same time. A year that no one would have wished for and in which, however, on a personal level as a team, we did well by winning the championship. As for my goals, the one scored against Sampdoria was the best in my entire career, I’m sure of it “.
