Cristiano Ronaldo won three awards

After winning three awards at the Globe Soccer Awards, Cristiano Ronaldo took to Instagram to express his appreciation for his teammates.

In his Instagram post, Ronaldo conveyed his gratitude and pride, stating, "Proud to have won three awards today. A big thank you to all the staff, teammates, and fans who keep making me better every day!"

Ronaldo's outstanding performance at Al-Nassr has been nothing short of extraordinary since joining the club in January of the previous year. Scoring an impressive 54 goals in 59 games, the seasoned striker outperformed other notable players such as Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane, and Erling Haaland in their respective leagues.

The football icon also took the opportunity to share his perspective on the Saudi Pro League, favorably comparing it to France's Ligue 1.

"To be honest, I think the Saudi league is better than the French league, in my opinion. In Saudi, I find it more competitive. They can say whatever they want; it's just an opinion. I have played here for one year, so I know what I am talking about. But, I think right now we are better than the French league," Ronaldo stated.

During the awards ceremony, Ronaldo, with a triumphant smile, confidently declared himself as 'the best goalscorer' of the season. He expressed pride in surpassing younger competitors like Haaland and addressed the criticism he often faces.

"Imagine beating young animals like Haaland… I’m proud. And I’ll be 39 soon! I like it when people doubt me again, and then I’m successful. I don’t get affected by the criticism," he remarked.
