Cristiano Ronaldo received his third Goal 50 award after soccer website Goal.com named the Portugal international as the world's best player last season.

Ronaldo, who scored 65 goals and tallied 15 assists in all competitions last season, became the second three-time winner of the award, following Argentine star Lionel Messi.

"It's a very big honor for me to have been chosen as the best player," said Ronaldo, who received the award in his preseason camp in Los Angeles. "I'm sincerely grateful for this award. I also want to thank the fans for their support and for their passion for the game, which is what makes this sport so fascinating throughout the world."

Ronaldo, who won his second Ballon d'Or award before the start of last season, won his second Pichichi award last season after scoring the most goals in Spanish La Liga with 31, which was also enough for him to bag another Golden Shoe award as the leading scorer in Europe alongside former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.

"Over and above individual prizes, I have always maintained that it's the teams, your team-mates and the fans that make each of us better as footballers," Ronaldo said. "Therefore, I'm convinced that I wouldn't have been able to win this award without the constant support from all the people at Real Madrid."

The 29-year-old forward led Real Madrid to multiple successes last season. Real Madrid won the Copa Del Rey title and the coveted Champions League crown, defeating rival Atletico Madrid in the finals.

Ronaldo netted 17 goals in 11 Champions League matches, setting the new goal record for the continental competition, while also becoming the first player to score a goal in eight straight UCL games.

But despite enjoying individual and team success last season, Ronaldo vowed to stay focused on their campaign next season, saying that they will do everything to surpass their achievements last season.

"My wish is for Real Madrid to lift all of the trophies possible," Ronaldo said. "Our club, our coaching staff, my great team-mates and myself, we will do everything we possibly can -- day in, day out and week in, week out -- to bring as much joy as possible to our magnificent fans. Football and competition are in my blood."
