Ronaldo thanks fans by displaying his 2017 Awards

Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated his Christmas and new year in his home town, Madeira, Portugal.

He displayed his personal silverware in an Instagram post.

Pictured in Funchal, the capital of the Portuguese archipelago, Ronaldo posed with his collection of individual trophies including four European Golden Shoes, three UEFA Best Player in Europe Awards and the Best FIFA Men's Player gong, which he has won in each of the past two years.

The 32-year-old also paid tribute to the team-mates, coaches and fans who have helped him during his career.

 

Quando jogava nas ruas da Madeira e sonhava em chegar ao topo do futebol não podia imaginar que um dia tiraria uma foto como esta. Dedico este momento acima de tudo à minha família, aos meus amigos, aos meus colegas de equipa, aos treinadores com quem aprendi sempre e a tantos outros que trabalham nas estruturas de clubes e seleção. Por último, um agradecimento muito especial aos meus fãs. Estes troféus também são vossos!

"I dedicate this moment above all to my family, my friends, my team-mates, the coaches with whom I have always learned and so many others at my clubs and with the national team.

"Finally, a special thanks to my fans. These trophies are yours too!"
