He added another International success to his already impressive records as he inspired his country to triumph in the inaugural competition. He also finished as the top scorer with a decent 3 goals to his name. His man-of-the-match display against Switzerland ended up as the finest performance of the tournament.
After enjoying a brilliant outing with Juventus at club level and capping it up with success on the international stage, the Portuguese simply deserves to go home with the coveted Ballon d'Or accolade for the sixth time in his career this year.
