Ronaldo named PFA Player of the Year (AGAIN)

Yep! He's the man of the year according to PFA. Cristiano Ronaldo retained the title for the second successive year. The award ceremony was held on Sunday but Ronaldo wasn't present. They showed a video footage of Ronaldo giving an acceptance speech. The video contains Ronaldo receiving the award from the boss Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United's training ground at Carrington. Surely they did not attend because the very important match against Barcelona in the Champions League semi final is only two days away.

Ronaldo was voted best among other players in the Premier League including Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard of Liverpool, Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas and Emmanuel Adebayor, and Portsmouth goalkeeper David James. Fabregas (Arsenal) snagged the award for PFA Young Player of the Year which was also won by Ronaldo in the previous year.

The award makes Ronaldo the second player to win the PFA award in two successive years since its inception in 1974. Ironically, he'll come face to face with the first man to do it on Tuesday when Thierry Henry (2003, 2004, then of Arsenal) lines up for Barcelona.

Another amazing year for the man and the club. Surely he deserves the award more than anyone. But I don't get how you can become the player of the year but not the young player of the year... LOL

Congrats Ron! The season's almost over but I'd want to look forward to next season as well, hoping for another "POTY" performance!!
