BBVA Awards: Cristiano Ronaldo chosen as Liga BBVA player of the month for May

The month of May proved a veritable goal mine for Cristiano Ronaldo, who netted nine in four games to ensure that he ended the 2014-15 Liga BBVA season as top scorer with a total of 48. The Portuguese star's excellent end to the campaign sees him take the BBVA Award for Liga BBVA player of the month for May, an accolade chosen by the writers at LFP.es and presented by BBVA, the league's main sponsor.

The Real Madrid man grabbed no fewer than three hat-tricks during the month, with Sevilla FC, RCD Espanyol and Getafe CF his victims, only failing to get on the scoresheet in the clash with Valencia CF. In addition to claiming the prizes for highest scorer and May's top player, his exploits saw him beat his best ever Liga BBVA goals tally, set in 2011-12, by two.
