Dubai (January 4, 2018): The Star footballer from Portugal Cristiano Ronaldo took the top honour as he was voted the best player of 2018 at the 10th edition of the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai held on Thursday.
That wasn’t the only award for the Juventus No 7, as he also scooped up the prize for the best goal of the year – his overhead kick against his current club.
The event includes 13 categories recognising performance both on and off the pitch, with nominees selected by a jury of international coaches, directors and chairmen. Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Deschamps and Real Madrid were among the players, managers and teams won the awards.
Cristiano Ronaldo was nominated in the player of the year category, alongside duo Kylian Mbappe (France ) and Antoine Griezmann. The Portuguese enjoyed a fruitful 2018, having helped Real Madrid to a third consecutive Champions League title.
Atletico Madrid also had an evening to remember, with Los Rojiblancos voted as the best club of the year and with their chief executive Miguel Angel Gil Marin in attendance to collect the trophy.
