Best Men’s Player in Europe Award.
Ronaldo beat off competition from club

Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann to win the
award for the second time in his career.
Speaking after receiving the award,
Ronaldo who won both last season’s
Champions League and Euro 2016 with
Portugal, said, “I’m obviously delighted to
receive this award, it’s been an incredible
season. But these two other players deserve

journalists from each of UEFA’s 55 member
associations.
