Cristiano Ronaldo was named Best Middle East Player at the Globe Soccer Awards 2025, held in Dubai on Sunday night. The Al-Nassr forward has played a key role in raising the profile of the Saudi Pro League since his move in 2023. Even at 40, Ronaldo is performing strongly and maintaining professionalism. This award shows how much he continues to influence football in the region and remains one of the top players.
A special moment to end the year on. I carry on with the same passion, commitment and hunger as always to reach my goals.
