Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has topped a UEFA poll in which the governing body asked supporters to vote for the greatest goalscorer to ever grace European Football’s premier competition.
The Portuguese maestro received 26 percent of the overall vote, edging out Barcelona’s Lionel Messi, who finished second with 25 percent.
Ronaldo is enjoying a scintillating season in the Champions League this year, one that has seen him net an incredible 16 goals in just 10 appearances, per WhoScored.com. His forward displays of dynamism and incisiveness have facilitated Real Madrid’s passage through to the final, where city rivals Atletico stand between them and a 10th European crown.
Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa has reportedly travelled to Serbia to visit a "medical miracle worker" specialising in horse placenta treatments as he battles to be fit for the Champions League final against Real Madrid.
Europe has never seen anything like it. Madrid could never have dreamed such a day would ever arrive. Saturday will be a day like no other in the history of football.
Ronaldo quiet as usual in the big game Real can't even handle how physical Athletico Is.. DEFENSE=WOW...wish Barça would take notes! I want David Villa to lift that trophy bad. Why on Earth would we sell a player like that?!?
