Another award for a sensational champion. Today, Cristiano Ronaldo received the Golden Foot Award.
It’s a particular and special prize, because by regulation, a player can only win it once in his career. On 1 December, CR7 was proclaimed as the winner, and today, he was awarded the prize behind closed doors, due to the health emergency.
The Portuguese champion also left, as usual, his footprints, which will be exhibited in the iconic "Champions Promenade" in Monte-Carlo.
“Receiving this award is an honor - said Ronaldo - I am happy that my footprints will be close to those of other great champions and I thank all the public who voted for me. I will always do my best to play well and score goals.”
On 1 December, for the first time, the Golden Foot Prestige award was also announced, a career honour dedicated exclusively to a President still in business, which was awarded to Andrea Agnelli.
Presenting the 18th Golden Foot Award to Cristiano Ronaldo was Louis Ducruet, son of Princess Stephanie of Monaco, representing H.S.H Prince Albert II of Monaco. The Monegasque Sovereign also sent a video message to congratulate the winners: "It will be an honour for the Principality of Monaco to have the footprints of a champion such as Cristiano Ronaldo and of the President of Juventus Football Club, Andrea Agnelli in the new The Champions Promenade.”
The Golden Foot Award 2020 awards ceremony will take place via live streaming on Monday 28 December: it will last 45 minutes and will be broadcast online in three different time zones. Visit the website: www.goldenfoot.com
