Ronaldo: UEFA Football of Year

Cristiano Ronaldo was voted as the best player in the Champions League last season (quite rightly) as well as the best Forward.

Whilst the Champions League draw for this year's tournament took place, the Player Awards were given out, with Ronaldo topping the Attacker role, and competing with Chelsea's Petr Cech (Goalie of the Year), John Terry (Defender of the Year somehow) and Frank Lampard (Midfielder of the Year) for the top prize.

Ronaldo was presented with the awards by Portuguese legend Eusebio, and was typically modest.

"I feel very proud to have won these awards," he said. "Manchester (United) had a great season and I scored many goals.

"As a winger, to be named the best forward is fantastic. It is very good for me and gives me more ambition to become better. Thanks to my team-mates and those who voted for me."

United were draw in a group with Celtic, Villareal and Aalborg.
