Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the Italian league player of the year on Friday for the second successive time.
Ronaldo won the prize in 2019 after his debut season at Juventus. The awards did not take place last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Ronaldo scored 31 goals in 33 league matches last season and helped Juventus to a record-extending ninth successive Serie A title.
I am happy and lucky. Persistence, confidence, work ethic, passion, those are all the secrets that allow me to keep playing. I feel motivated and you have to be every year, otherwise you won’t manage to win at 34, 35, 36 or 40 years old.
