2013 Age 28 — Real Madrid
2014 Age 29 — Real Madrid
2016 Age 31 — Real Madrid
2017 Age 32 — Real Madrid

Notice the 3-year gap between his 1st (age 23) and 2nd (age 28) — then four wins inside five years at Real Madrid, his statistical peak. No wins after age 32, despite continued elite output at Juventus and Al-Nassr — a clean split between "recognised peak" and "sustained output."
