Top 5 Real Madrid players of 2017

#1 Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo lifted his fifth Ballon d'Or this year

In spite of his loss of form, Cristiano Ronaldo deserves to be on this list. He might not have looked as flashy as usual, but he was the chief provocateur as Real Madrid lifted the La Liga and successfully defended their Champions League crown this year.

Ronaldo brought in fresh additions to his individual trophy cabinet by winning the UEFA Best Forward of the Year and the Fifa Men's Best Player of the Year. Adding to that, he trumped Leo Messi to win the fifth Ballon d'Or, thereby equaling the Argentinian's tally of the award.

Coming to his performances in important fixtures, the 32-year-old made it to the scoresheet in the Champions League final with a brace. Recently, it was his free-kick that helped Real Madrid win the FIFA Club World Cup for a record fourth time in history.

At present, he seems to be recovering from his nightmare after levelling Isco as Real Madrid's top goal-scorer with 4 goals in the league this season.

Considering all those awards he won, he deserves to wear the crown as Real Madrid's best player in 2017.
