The individual awards keep rolling in for Cristiano
Ronaldo, who has picked up the Barclays Player of the
Season and Barclays Golden Boot awards to complete a sensational
season.

The 23-year-old Portuguese wing wiazard also collected a merit
award for reaching 30 league goals this season.
Ronaldo was pivotal in United's Barclays Premier League title
success and it was no surprise that he earned the Barclays Player
of the Season accolade for the second year in succession.
Whichever way you look at it, Ronaldo has been exceptional this
season, and the stats back it up. His 31 goals from 34 league
appearances helped see off stiff opposition for the awards from
Arsenal’s Emmanuel Adebayor and Fernando Torres of Liverpool.
It's the first time a player has scored more than 30 league goals
in a season since Alan Shearer’s 31-goal haul for Blackburn Rovers
twelve years ago.
The merit award for reaching 30 goals will also benefit one lucky
charity as Ronaldo will receive £1,000 for every goal scored to be
donated to a charity of his choice.
However, for all the personal awards showered on the Madeiran
magician, his sights will be firmly set on the Champions League
trophy in Moscow next Wednesday.
