Manchester United phenomenon Cristiano Ronaldo has won the Professional Footballers' Association's Player of the Year award for the second time in a row.


"When you work all season to play good, to do something for the team, to do your contribution for the team and then at the end of the season the PFA give you this award, it is a great moment, it is an honour, a pleasure.

"It is a great motivation to carry on like that, to work more and get better.

"I feel very good but it is not just my award, my team-mates have helped me a lot this season. They give me good passes to score goals - and I score - but it is a good moment for me."

Ronaldo revealed that he voted for Adebayor, but joked that he believed he deserved to win.

"I voted for Adebayor because I think he has had a great season as well," he said.

"But you have many players who have had a good season - Torres, Fabregas, many players. But I think I deserve to win!"

Regarding his side's upcoming Champions League semi-final second leg, Ronaldo added: "I look forward to Tuesday against Barcelona, it is the biggest game of the season in my opinion. If you win you are in the final.

"It is a good motivation for me, for my colleagues, for my friends, everyone. I hope to win and the two league games are very important as well, if you win you are champions as well."
