Portuguese superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo, has seemingly made a case for wining the 2019 Balloon d’Or.
In an Instagram post on Friday, he thanked the fans of Juventus and Portugal as he looked back on a successful first season in Italy, while listing his memorable achievements for the year.
Ronaldo saw Juventus to an eighth straight Serie A title while winning the Italian Player of the Year award, scoring 21 goals.
“What an unforgettable season!” Ronaldo said on his personal Instagram page.
“New experiences, gigantic club, exciting city, broken records and three more titles.
“I have to thank all Juventus fans for the wonderful way I was welcomed in Italy!
“You’re an important part of all of our victories.”
He went on to list the personal milestones he surpassed in the calendar year, before signing off by saying he was relying on his supporters to spur him on to continue to hit the heights.
“Italian Supercup winning goal; – Serie A win, Best Player and 21 goals
“Nations League win and hat-trick;
“First Player to reach 100 wins and 125 goals in Champions League;
“First Player to win 10 UEFA titles;
“First Player to score in all National Teams final stages: FIFA World Cup, UEFA European Cup, FIFA Confederations Cup and UEFA Nations League;
“First Player to score in 10 consecutive National Teams final stages from 2004 to 2019;
“See you soon! Together we’ll keep fighting for new and amazing conquests! I’m counting on you.”
Earlier in the week, Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, shared a kiss as they posed for pictures with the UEFA Nations League trophy.
