Christiano Ronaldo breaks Record again.
Cristiano Ronaldo received his record fourth Golden Boot award on Tuesday for being the leading goalscorer in all of Europe’s domestic leagues last season.
The Portuguese superstar scored 48 goals in 35 Spanish league games to claim his third Golden Boot playing for Real Madrid. His other award came with Manchester United in 2007-08 – while no other player has ever won four.
The 30-year-old also became Madrid’s all-time leading scorer on Sept. 30 with 324 goals, surpassing Raul Gonzalez’s previous mark.

‘This is another great moment in my career. Receiving the fourth Golden Shoe is a great honour and a privilege,’ Ronaldo said after receiving the award.
‘But without my team-mates, I would not be able to win individual awards.
‘I always want to win more. I want five, six or seven Golden Shoes if possible.
‘Real Madrid are the biggest club in the world and we always have to win titles.
‘I want the Champions League, La Liga and the Copa del Rey.’
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez hailed his star player for making history, while thanking him ‘on behalf of all Madridistas’
‘This award goes back to show that we have a unique and exceptional player in Cristiano Ronaldo,’ the Madrid president said.
‘Cristiano Ronaldo is the only player in history to win the Golden Boot four times.
‘A few days ago he became Real Madrid’s [joint] all-time leading goalscorer and now Cristiano is picking up his fourth Golden Boot. It is an honour to have him at our club.
‘Cristiano Ronaldo came to Real Madrid to win all that he has won and now he wants more.
‘There is something special about him. Despite winning so many trophies, he always wants more and never gets complacent.
‘Thank you Cristiano Ronaldo, on behalf of all Madridistas, for all you have given us and for all you will give us.’
