Cristiano Ronaldo poses with trophy haul near Madeira home

The Real Madrid star who claimed a record fifth Ballon d’Or recently is seen posing with his grand trophy haul against Madeira backdrop. Born in the island-town Madeira, the Portuguese footballer put on an exhibition posing with 15 gleaming individual trophies.

Quando jogava nas ruas da Madeira e sonhava em chegar ao topo do futebol não podia imaginar que um dia tiraria uma foto como esta. Dedico este momento acima de tudo à minha família, aos meus amigos, aos meus colegas de equipa, aos treinadores com quem aprendi sempre e a tantos outros que trabalham nas estruturas de clubes e seleção. Por último, um agradecimento muito especial aos meus fãs. Estes troféus também são vossos!
