Cristiano Ronaldo has won a record 10th Portuguese Player of the Year award.
The Juventus forward collected his latest individual accolade at the annual Quinas de Ouro gala in Lisbon on Monday evening.
“This world is so fast, with the social media, the press, it's been wild,” Ronaldo said in his speech.
“It's been an extremely complicated year on a personal level. Don't let anyone pull you down.
“I can't help but mention that Sporting deserves a little prize. Next time.”
Ronaldo faced stiff competition for the award. Atletico Madrid startles Joao Felix, Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva, Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes and Wolves’ Ruben Neves were all in contention.
The 34-year-old has dominated the awards night since 2007, taking home the main prize in every year since then except for in 2010 and 2014.
In those years, Simao and Pepe respectively were successful.
