#3 Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal – 8

Cristiano Ronaldo led Portugal to their first ever major trophy at Euro 2016

Ronaldo is arguably the greatest goalscorer in the history of the game with an unbelievable knack to score poacher goals, long-range thunderbolts and insane headers. He is truly one of a kind player and the proud winner of four Ballon d’Or awards including the most recent one.

The decorated attacker has won league and Champions League titles with Manchester United and Real Madrid.

Further, Ronaldo has led the Portuguese national team to Euro 2016 triumph which was their first ever win in a major tournament. He has scored over 500 goals at club level while making 136 appearances for the national side. This distinguished career has seen him named as the CNID Best Portuguese Athlete Abroad a stunning eight times since 2007. Although on the wrong side of 30, Ronaldo is a physical marvel and can be expected to win the award a few more times before he hangs up his boots.
