'Ronaldo most important player in Real Madrid history' - Butragueno

The Portugal superstar won his fifth Ballon d'Or on Thursday and should be considered every bit as good as Alfredo Di Stefano, the ex-striker has said

Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in Real Madrid's history alongside Alfredo Di Stefano, according to former striker Emilio Butragueno.

Madrid's all-time leading goalscorer Ronaldo made more history on Thursday when he equalled Lionel Messi's Ballon d'Or record of five awards.

Ronaldo retained football's most prestigious individual prize, named France Football's player of the year after guiding Madrid to La Liga and Champions League glory in 2016-17, having also moved past 600 career goals.
