Real Madrid and Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo feels he silenced his remaining doubters with a trophy-laden 2016, claiming it was 'probably his best year so far'.
A victory over local rivals Atletico Madrid saw Ronaldo lift the Champions League trophy before guiding Portugal to their maiden major crown at Euro 2016 and enjoying further success in the Club World Cup.
Ronaldo was rewarded for his stunning year with the Ballon d'Or this month and added another individual honour on Tuesday when he was named best player at the Globe Soccer Awards.
"Collectively and individually, it was probably my best year so far," Ronaldo said in a recorded video message.
