Real Madrid forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, has said Antoine
Griezmann deserved to be named the UEFA Best Player in Europe. Ronaldo was awarded the prize on Thursday, ahead of
Griezmann and his Madrid team-mate, Gareth Bale.
“As I said on the stage, he [Griezmann] deserved to win this
trophy,” Ronaldo told media after collecting his prize “He lost two finals so it was unlucky for him but I think
he’s a fantastic player, he’s a good boy, he’s my neighbour – he lives next to
me – and he deserved it. “But he will win for sure one day – I hope so.”
Ronaldo also admitted he is desperate to win his fourth
Ballon d’Or award.
He continued: “I hope to win the Ballon d’Or but let me
enjoy first this trophy. It’s amazing. I wish to win tonight and I’m so proud.
I have to thank you to my team mates – Real Madrid and national – because they
helped me a lot to win these trophies.”
