Cristiano Ronaldo has won his third Fifa Ballon d’Or title, fighting off the
challenge of Germany’s goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and Lionel Messi, who has now
been beaten twice in succession by his great Real Madrid rival.
This is the age of Ronaldo, who wept on the podium last year but this time let
out a “Yahoo!” and was joined on stage by his son. In a stellar year Ronaldo
led Real to their 10th European title and broke the Champions League scoring
record with 17 goals across the campaign.
“It’s been an unforgettable year,” he said. “To win this trophy – a trophy of
this kind – is something unique, and all I can say is that I want to
continue working as I have, and go on to more titles for my mother and my
wife – and my father, who is up there looking down on me – and my son.
