There seems to be no stopping Portuguese sensation Cristiano Ronaldo. No matter which team or which league he plays in, he makes an instant impact and often emerges as the highest goal-scorer of the month. He happens to have done the same for record 20-time former English champion Manchester United. He has won the Player of the Month award for April, which happens to be his sixth, besides being his second for the season. He is one short of the join record for winning the most, held by Harry Kane and Sergio Aguero. The Portuguese played 360 minutes and netted five goals last month.

Last month, Ronaldo scored his 100th English Premier League (EPL) goal. It happened during his side's 1-3 defeat to Arsenal.

Later in the month, Ronaldo also scored his 50th hat-trick that came during a 3-2 win over an already-relegated Norwich City.

Ronaldo's fifth goal of the season came during its 1-1 draw against Chelsea. He topped the eight-man shortlist, which also included Nathan Collins, Kevin De Bruyne, Bruno Guimaraes, Gabriel Jesus, Son Heung-min, Thiago and Leandro Trossard.
