Ronaldo had scored 21 league goals in 2018-19 and helped the team win the Serie A title. For while now, CR7 has been niggling with the issues of knee injuries. In fact, on a couple of occasions, he was even replaced during the games. However, he got back to training after missing out on a game. He not only played the game but also scored a goal and helped Juventus end the game with an equaliser. Talking about the award, let’s have a look at the Instagram post by CR7.

“It is a proud moment to win this award. I want to thank my Juventus team-mates. It was my first year in Serie A, a difficult league, and I am very happy. Thank you for voting for me. I will now try to repeat what I've done over the next year,” he said.
