MADRID — Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo, Jorge Valdano, Iker Casillas and Felipe Reyes were among those who attended the AS Sports Awards ceremony on Thursday evening.

As expected Ronaldo was the center of attention of the third edition of the award ceremony as the recipient of the award.

“It is an honor to be the first foreigner to win this award,” said the Madridista, “but it couldn’t have happened without team work.”

“I do not feel any added pressure,” for being the most expensive signing ever,” added Ronaldo, “the President was correct in signing me and I will bring a lot of joy to Real Madrid and football fans during my time here.”

The Portugal international also discussed the World Cup draw and commented on the Spanish national team, who “I wouldn’t like to have to play against any time soon but preferably in the final.”

Felipe Reyes, Jorge Garbajosa and Sergio Llull later took the stage to collect another award based on the success of the Spanish national team.
