Ranking all of Cristiano Ronaldo's Seasons as a professional footballer 

#2. 2007/08

Ronaldo takes flight - he hasn't looked back since

Club: Manchester United

The year where the world sat up and took full notice of Cristiano Ronaldo. This was the season he decided who really wanted to become. As Rio Ferdinand says

"He liked taking liberties when he first came, taking people on, making people look silly and doing skills before coming back to beat them again. His whole thing when he first signed was about showmanship, he'd listen to the fans when he'd do that bit of skill, when he'd do that step-over. Whereas then there was that turning point around that time when it was about goals, assists. Then he became the game-changer, rather than the showman. That's that maturity and the penny dropping."

This season was the turning point... the one where he decided to up the benchmarks of what a modern football would be judged by.

League goals (and per game): 31 (0.91) | European goals (and per game): 8 (0.73)

Total goals (and per game): 42 (0.73)

Trophies won: Premier League, Champions League

Individual honours: Ballon d'Or, European Golden Shoe, UCL Golden boot, Premier League Golden boot - basically, everything he touched turned to gold.
