Cristiano Ronaldo continues to create history as he beats Joao Felix and Bernardo Silva to capture his 10th Portuguese Player of the Year award.

The 34-year-old has dominated his country’s annual awards night since 2007 and has taken the top gong each year since then – bar exceptions in 2010 and 2014 when Simao and Pepe respectively won the awards.

Juventus forwar beat off competition from Atletico Madrid starlet Felix, Manchester City’s Silva, Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes and Wolves’ Ruben Neves.

The glamorous awards evening took place at the Carlos Lopes Pavilion in Lisbon where Ronaldo, reflecting on a tough year, paid homage to his early days at Sporting Lisbon in his speech.
