He is officially the best player in the world again. That's according to FIFA who today announced the Real Madrid star as a two time winner of their originally named 'the best' awards.
Last year Ronaldo
beat his foe and arch nemesis Messi to the title after he helped Real Madrid
win the Champions League and Portugal win the Euros in France. In the past 12
months the former Manchester United winger helped Los Blancos win their first
La Liga title in five years whilst they also became club world champions and
the first team to defend the Champions League title. At the awards, held in
London, football world's organisers also announced the best women's player,
best coaches, best goalkeeper, Puskas award, fair-play award and the FIFpro XI.
But it was Ronaldo who beat off Messi and PSG forward Neymar to take the main
award of the evening and become a two time winner of the award:
It's expected
that the 32 year-old will follow up this success by beating Messi later in the
year to the Ballon d'Or. Should he do that then he will draw level with the
Barcelona forward on five titles each. 'CR7' scored 42 goals in 46
appearances in all competitions for Zinedine Zidane's side last season as they
cemented themselves as the best team in Europe and the world, winning three
major competitions.
