Cristiano Ronaldo has been one of the best players during the past decades and was even at the level of legend Lionel Messi. The Portuguese attacker is said to be one of the best players ever and has given plenty of samples about it when playing for Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus or Portugal national team.

Last week was not an easy one for him, as he lost The Best award given by FIFA that he was expecting to gain. Robert Lewadowski achieved to win it for the very first time on his career, leaving aside the hegemony that during the last years players such as Cristiano and Lionel Messi had.

But after that bad moment, CR7 received a very good news: he won an award that not even Messi has. It is the Golden Foot, given to players who are older than 28 and that can only be won once in a career for players. Top stars as Ronaldinho, Roberto Baggio or Alessandro del Piero gain it on the past.

So far this season, Cristiano played 13 matches and scored 16 goals, being not just the striker of Serie A but also one of the best attackers in the world. At the age of 35, retirement seems to be very far away from him, and awards won as the Golden Foot are just another prof about his incredible condition.
