One week it's the Ballon d'Or and the next it's the Order of Prince Henry: superstar Ronaldo is honoured again



Honoured: Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo has been made an official of the Order of Prince Henry
Cristiano Ronaldo has received one of Portugal's highest honours from the country's President.
The Real Madrid forward was awarded a medal and ribbon, making him an official of the Order of Prince Henry at a formal ceremony in Lisbon's Presidential palace.
Ronaldo said it was 'a moment of great pride' that gave him 'the motivation to keep working, and even harder in the future'.

'I look upon football as fun,' said Ronaldo, 28. 'There's a while to go before I retire, and I want to win more trophies at club and national level.'
The Portugal captain, who a week earlier won the 2013 Ballon d'Or, is Portugal's most high-profile athlete and their leading scorer, alongside the retired Pauleta, with 47 goals.
'Winning the World Cup is a dream,' Ronaldo said. 'It would be the peak of my career.'
President Anibal Cavaco Silva said at the ceremony, attending by Ronaldo's family, Portuguese government officials, Spanish diplomats, Real president Florentino Perez and Portugal boss Paulo Bento, that the forward deserved recognition because he 'brings prestige for Portugal around the world'.
Cavaco also praised his 'hard work, discipline, determination and will to win'.
