Cristiano Ronaldo wins FIFA footballer of the year

The votes are in and the winner of the Ballon d’Or has been  announced in Zurich on Monday night, Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo beat Lionel Messi and Franck Ribery to pick the big one. 

This is the second win for the footballer who had  a stellar year at Real Madrid.  The forward was emotional as he collected his award and thanked his team-mates for their support in allowing him to win the prize.

“First of all I have to say a great thanks to all of my team-mates with the club and the national team,” he said. “Without all of their efforts this would not have been possible. I am very happy, it is very difficult to win this award.

“Everybody that has been involved with me on a personal level I have to thank. My wife, my friends, my son. It is a tremendously emotional moment. All I can say is thank you to everybody that has been involved.”
