Ronaldo wins Pichichi to equal Messi's record

RONALDO

The award was presented to him by Spanish newspaper Marca, as a recognition for the 48 goals he scored in 35 La Liga appearances for Los Blancos last season.

The Portugal international now ties with his perennial rival Lionel Messi with three Pichichi trophies each.
