Cristiano Ronaldo took the top gong at the LFP awards as La Liga’s standout performers from the 2013-14 campaign were revealed on Monday night.
The Real Madrid star was named the best player from last season in Spain’s top flight after scoring 31 goals in just 30 league games for the European champions. The Ballon d’Or holder becomes only the second player to win the prize since its inception in 2008-09, with Lionel Messi having won all five of the previous titles.
“I have to thank my team-mates, Real Madrid, my family... it is a very good moment in my career,” Ronaldo said at the awards ceremony in Madrid.
“For me, the important thing is to win collective prizes, but I like the individual ones, too. I work every day, in training, to continue adding more to this.”
