Cristiano Ronaldo may just have completed the finest 12 months in football history.

After Real Madrid beat Juventus 4-1 to become the first side to retain the Champions League, you are probably already aware that the famous footballer on Planet Earth has had a good year.

Between the two Champions Leagues he has won with Los Blancos, he finally win a major international tournament with Portugal AND claimed another Ballon d'Or.

However, it's not just those four big achievements which make the last 12 months of Ronaldo's career so remarkable.

Incredibly, in the space of just 372 days, the former Manchester United man has won 10 different major awards and honours.

For most normal world class footballers, any of these would take pride in place in their personal trophy cabinet. For CR7 winning medals and trophies like these is becoming bizarrely routine…
