Cristiano Ronaldo has received a record fourth Golden
Boot after topping Europe's goalscoring charts for the
2014/15 season.
The Real Madrid star scored 48 goals in 35 La Liga
appearances last term to win the honour for the third
time at Madrid, with his other triumph coming during
the 2007/08 season at Manchester United.
It means Ronaldo becomes the first player in the
awards' illustrious 47-year history to win the accolade
four times.
"What a special moment in my professional life!" the
30-year-old said on his official Facebook page.
"Winning four Golden Boots is a privilege for me and
I'll keep challenging myself because I want to do better
every time and I want to keep chasing for more
records.
"I have to thank everyone in Real Madrid that made this
possible and we want to keep winning more titles and
more trophies. Thank you everyone."
Ronaldo scored 48 goals in La Liga last season for Real
Madrid
Long-term adversary, Barcelona maestro Lionel Messi,
was edged out into second place, with his 43 goals in
38 Primera Division games unable to secure a fourth
Golden Boot of his own.
Ronaldo was accompanied at the ceremony in Madrid
by his mother, his son, Madrid coach Rafa Benitez,
club president Florentino Perez and the Portuguese
ambassador to Spain.
And speaking at the gala, Ronaldo revealed his hunger
for further success was unrelenting, adding: "I never
planned on winning four times. Maybe one or two yes
but never four.
Ronaldo collected the award along with his family
"I always want more. I know I am the only one to have
four but I want more. That implies winning trophies
with the world's greatest club.
"This year will be no different and we want to win La
Liga, the Cup and the Champions League. I hope we
see each other again next year."
Ronaldo is level with Raul in Madrid's all-time leading
scorer charts with 323 goals and has the chance to
surpass the Spaniard when Levante travel to the
Bernabeu on Saturday.
