Champions League and Euro 2016 in the span of 2 months. It's a dream for a lot of players but reality just for 2 - Pepe and Cristiano Ronaldo.
He played a vital role in Real Madrid's epic 2016 in which they lost just two matches throughout the year! Our readers rightly voted for him in large numbers and made him the 2nd highest voted defender on the list with 9% votes.
The Portuguese defender is very often criticised for his rash game but looks at how he plays now and how did five years ago, you'll see a devastating change. He's matured so much playing alongside Sergio Ramos and under the guidance of Zidane, Carlo Ancelotti and Jose Mourinho, he has become one of the most consistent defenders of recent times.
