Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo has been nominated for the Portugal FA’s Player of the Year award for 2017 along with his national teammates Bernardo Silva of Manchester City and Sporting Lisbon goalkeeper Rui Patricio.
Ronaldo, 33, had a tremendous year in which Real Madrid won five trophies — including the Champions League and La Liga double — and he won a fifth Ballon d’Or as well as FIFA Best Player and UEFA player of the year.
Portugal’s Quinas de Ouro (Golden Shields) awards are in their third year and are organised jointly by the Federaco Portuguesa de Futebol (Portuguese FA), the Associacao Nacional dos Treinadores de Futebol (National Football Coaches Association) and the Sindicato dos Jogadores Profissionais de Futebol (Professional Football Players Union).
The president of the organising committee is former Portugal, Madrid and Barcelona star Luis Figo.
