Manchester United 2007–08 — Ronaldo's Champions

Cristiano Ronaldo's 31 Premier League goals powered Manchester United to a two-point title win over Chelsea in 2007–08, earning him the Ballon d'Or—faster than the average winning tally for a Golden Boot winner. The squad, featuring Wayne Rooney's 12 league goals and Rio Ferdinand's defensive leadership, clinched the Champions League by defeating Chelsea on penalties, with Edwin van der Sar saving Nicolas Anelka's kick. Ronaldo's 42 goals across all competitions remain a United record. Their 87-point finish, combined with the European double, positions this team as a benchmark for excellence, though #5 Manchester City's 2017–18 side amassed 13 more points.
