00:00Ain't they just? And this is of course our landmark 15th edition and still kicking of this the Beyond
00:06Developments Globe Soccer Dubai Awards. My name is Tom Urquhart. I'm Amanda Davis. For the last 14 years
00:14we have honoured some of the greatest names in football and for this our 15 plans are no
00:25different. So many incredible memories created and plenty more still to come. But you know what Tom?
00:32I don't know what? A special anniversary like this I think it deserves a special trophy doesn't it?
00:37I would agree with you on that but the question I would beg is where is it?
00:45Cristiano Ronaldo consolidated his legendary status by producing astonishing performances
00:50for El Naso. Spearheading the attack Ronaldo scored 42 goals for club and country in 2024
00:57which included a record 35 in just 31 games in his first full season in the Saudi Pro League.
01:04As a result Ronaldo took his tally to a record extended 916. His legend continues to grow
01:12CR7 is at the forefront of Middle Eastern football revolution.
01:42Right let's get Cristiano to sign the shirt if we can.
01:55Cristiano please come if you could sign the jersey on the way across.
02:12Cristiano another year another award and where do you keep them all?
02:28Well it's always an honour to be here. She arrived on time. Women never never get late.
02:35Perfect timing I've got to say. If she didn't arrive on time I will do something bad tonight. No I'm joking.
02:41No it's a pleasure it's a pleasure to be here in this gala. You always make this gala so special.
02:48I'm always happy to be here because I think you do a fantastic gala. You see all the champions
02:57that are here and I think it's a fantastic congratulation. Well in terms about the
03:04trophy I have to say thank you to my teammates to my team. In terms of individual I did very well
03:14but for me it's not enough. So that's the question isn't it? All the individual awards but when are
03:19you going to get something with the team? Yes this is for me it's the main goal. All the countries that
03:25I passed I was champions and it gets difficult to get champions here and there in Saudi
03:32because Al-Hilal it's better and Etihad this year is in the top of the league but I believe that
03:40we have to push hard to be champions because I've been champion everywhere that I passed
03:44and I believe that I will be champion but I win the trophy because I did so many goals and
03:52assistance. I maintained my level but I have to say thank you to my teammates my coaches and
03:59all the supporters of Al-Nasr. Congratulations we look forward to seeing what's next.
