La Liga 2016/17: Team of the season

Cristiano Ronaldo (Left-winger) – Real Madrid

Love him or hate him, you just cannot ignore Cristiano Ronaldo. Brilliantly handled by Zidane, the Portuguese superstar hit his peak at the right time scoring crucial goals in the last few matches to take Real Madrid over the finishing line.

Playing in a slightly different role this season, the 32-year-old has adapted his game brilliantly contributing to the side both as a finisher and creator of goals. Third highest scorer in the League with 25 goals, Ronaldo has often stepped up when the team has required him the most.

If this team of the season was done before May, Neymar might have probably edged out Ronaldo. However, the Portuguese superstar’s performances in the most important situations in the last few matches have tilted the scales in his favour.

A true winner and one of the most hardworking and gifted footballers on the pitch, Ronaldo in many people's eyes is already the favourite to claim another Ballon d’Or title this year.

While the team might have been picked, let us take a look at the manager of this team and the substitutes who narrowly missed making the cut in the next slide.
