Ronaldo named best Portuguese player of all time

Real Madrid attacker Cristiano Ronaldo has been named
the best Portuguese player of all time by the Portuguese
Football Federation (FPF), ahead of Eusebio and Luis
Figo.
The 29-year-old was awarded the prestigious title at a
ceremony in Estoril as part of the commemorations of
the 100th anniversary of the FPF.
Ronaldo is one of only three Portuguese players to have
been capped more than 100 times - Figo and Fernando
Couto being the other two - and is his country's all-
time top goalscorer.
The former Manchester United man has represented the
Seleccao at six major tournaments (Euro 2004, 2008 and
2012 as well as World Cup 2006, 2010 and 2014), scoring
at least once at each showpiece.
Fifa president Joseph Blatter and Uefa chief Michel
Platini were among the people in attendance to see
Ronaldo announced as the winner of the award, but the
prolific attacker himself did not attend the ceremony due
to Real Madrid's Copa del Rey clash with Atletico Madrid
at Santiago Bernabeu on Thursday.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was named the best
Portuguese coach of all time at the ceremony following
his successes with Porto, Chelsea, Inter and Real
Madrid.
The FPF also announced an all-time best Portugal XI,
with Ronaldo as the standout-performer alongside
Eusebio.
All-time best Portugal XI : Vitor Baia, Fernando Couto,
Germano, Humberto Coelho, Ricardo Carvalho, Coluna,
Figo, Rui Costa, Ronaldo, Eusebio, Futre.
