Juventus talisman and Portuguese playmaker, Cristiano Ronaldo has been named Serie A’s best player for 2019 after finishing third in the Ballon d’Or award held on Monday night in Paris, the capital city of France.
TheNewsGuru (TNG) reports Ronaldo was awarded the Serie A best player prize in Milan at the Italian football’s awards’ night, but not without drama.
The Portuguese player showed up at the Italian football’s awards night at the very last minute, not spotted inside the event until it was time for him to collect his prize; when he then appeared on stage before leaving immediately.
“For me it’s a pride to be the best player in Serie A. I thank my fellow Juve [players] and all the players who voted for me. Last year was my first year in Italy, a difficult championship but I’m very happy. And I want to make this year equal to last,” Ronaldo said after receiving the award.
