Goal readers name Ronaldo the Champions League's best player

The Real Madrid forward has been overwhelmingly
recognised by responders to our poll after an
electrifying European campaign in which he scored
16 goals on his way to the trophy
Goal readers have voted Cristiano Ronaldo as the
best player of the Champions League season by an
overwhelming margin.

The Real Madrid star was victorious again on
Saturday, scoring the winning penalty in the
shooutout as they defeated bitter rivals Atletico
Madrid in a repeat of the 2014 final.

It capped another incredible year for Ronaldo, who
scored 16 goals in the Champions League alone, and
60.8 per cent of readers were agreed that he was
the competition's biggest standout.



His closest rival was a long way behind but Atleti's
Antoine Griezmann had a fine campaign himself, his
goals against the likes of Barcelona and Bayern
Munich convincing 16.6% of voters to back him for
the crown.

Two more Madrid players were also in the running,
with veteran defender Sergio Ramos backed by 9.5%
and emerging star Casemiro receiving 5.1% of the
vote.

Diego Godin was unfortunate to be on the losing
side in the final and picked up 4.5% of the vote,
while a further 3.5% thought that Bayern striker
Robert Lewandowski was the best on show.
