Nominee #2: Cristiano Ronaldo
Who can leave this Portuguese International from the list of candidates nominated for the Real Madrid’s player of the season? Once again, the winger had a fantastic season as he scored 50+ goals in a season for the sixth consecutive time.
Ronaldo hit the purple patch at the right time and that helped his side maintain the pressure on Barcelona in La Liga and win the UEFA Champions League. He stepped up in big matches and scored some crucial goals for his team which helped them win the Champions League. With Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema at their best, Cristiano linked well with the duo and made the famous ‘BBC trio’ a deadly force once again.
He could have easily equalled his own record for the most number of goals scored in a single Champions League as he fell one goal short of the 17-goal mark, a record which he set in the 2013-14 season.
