Cristiano Ronaldo has become the best footballer of the century in the votes of the fans. Only 20 years of the century have passed. The fragrance of CR7 has spread throughout almost these 20 years. Many great footballers have seen these two decades. Among them, Ronaldo has overtaken Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho and Salah as his closest rivals.
The Portuguese prince received more than 21 million votes. Ronaldo has been playing at the highest level since 2002. He has won three Premier League titles, two La Liga titles and two Serie A titles. He led from the front and lifted the Champions League title for Real Madrid and Manchester United. The former Los Blancos star finished ahead of the fans.
Real Madrid also has the reputation of being the best football club of the 21st century. And Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has won the title of the best coach of the century by showing a great rise in the world of coaching. Pep won the Champions League for Barcelona. Bayern Munich and Man City have won the league title. So on Sunday night they were taken to the Bourgeois Caliphate in Dubai for the award.
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has been hailed as one of the best footballers of the 21st century. It has not been easy to show such performance at the highest level for so many years. But for that I have to give credit to the club-coaches and teammates. It might not have been possible without good teams, big clubs and coaches.
It's hard not to be happy," Ronaldo said on social media Twitter and Facebook. I am on my way to complete 20 years of my career. It is really a pleasure to be the best footballer of the century in the world at such a time and it is in such a wonderful place as the Bourgeois Khalifa in Dubai. Thank you to the Royal Family of Dubai for giving me such respect and hospitality. Thanks to more than 21 million fans for voting.
In a message on social media, Ronaldo also congratulated Robert Lewandowski and Hansi Flick on being named Footballer of the Year and Coach of the Year. Congratulations to Pep Guardiola, who has always been the coach of the opposition. Ronaldo's friend George Mendis has become the best football agent of the century. CR7 also greeted him.
