The Manchester United superstar posted a photo him on Instagram displaying his FIFA Special Award after he returned to Manchester from Zurich on Monday night.
The superstar was awarded the prize after he scored 115 goals for Portugal, breaking an international record.
Speaking on Monday night, he said: ‘It is a dream. First of all, I have to say thank you to my team-mates in the national team in the last 20 years that I used to play with.
‘The record was 109, right? So six ahead. I am so proud. It is a special award from Fifa – an organisation I respect a lot. I also have to thank my family. Soon I will be a father again. I am proud. It is great to be the goalscorer of all time.’I still have the passion for the game and to score goals. I play football since I was five years old. When I go to the pitch, even in training, my motivation is still there. Even 37 soon, I feel good.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner travelled with his pregnant partner Georgina Rodriguez and eldest son Cristiano Jr for the awards ceremony.
He won the FIFA Special Best Men Award in recognition of his goal-scoring achievements.
