Out of different factors to measure the success in career, trophies acquired by the player is one of the most fundamental.
Real Madrid was phenomenal throughout the season having won the major Silverwares and Ronaldo was the driving force behind the success.
Los Blancos managed to clinch five trophies in 2017, starting with La Liga in May, followed by a historic La Undécima Champions League success in June. They continued their winning campaign and went on to hold the Super Cup, the Supercopa de Espana and, most recently, the Club World Cup earlier this December.

While Real Madrid and Ronaldo filled the vacant trophy shelf, Messi and Barcelona were left in their rivals’ shadow as they remained an almost sterile year.
The Argentine was undoubtedly a principal part in their single success of the year back in January, scoring a goal, an assist and opening the play for another in the final of the Copa del Rey against Alaves.
