2016 is fast proving to be the best for the Portuguese yet as he bags yet another award after his exploits with both club and countey. Ronaldo has been named the best player in the world by top soccer website, goal.com in an annual event that started 2008.The 31-year old equals Messi's record of four wins with the Argentine coming at surprisingly low fourth position out of the top three for the first time with Luis Suarez and Antoine Griezmann in second and third respectively.
"It’s an honour to receive this recognition again," Ronaldo told Goal as he collected the trophy in Madrid."It’s for all my team-mates at Madrid and in the national team. I feel very happy and very proud."
"Nothing is achieved without ambition, personal effort and without a team of colleagues and workers who support you day in, day out. That, day to day, is the most important thing."
Chief editors and correspondents from Goal's 38 editions around the world all cast their votes, with candidates judged on their level of consistency over the previous year of action, their big-game performances, footballing legacy and the success of their teams at both club and international level.
