Legendary forward Cristiano Ronaldo has won the 2016 Ballon D’Or award, his fourth time of winning the award.

Ronaldo led Real Madrid to a record 11th UEFA Champions League title in May, before carrying Portugal to an historic UEFA Euro success weeks later. He had previously won the award in 2008, 2013 and 2014.

The 31-year old also had a phenomenal year stats wise, scoring 51 goals in 54 games for club and country in 2016.

“It is a special moment. It means that all my sacrifice was worth it. I feel very happy to win this. I worked very hard,” Ronaldo said in accepting the award.

“A lot of people helped me get here, and it is not easy to get here. You can count on one hand players who maintain this level year after year. I am one of them, and that is a source of pride for me.”

He beat 5-time Ballon D’or winner, Barcelona’s Lionel Messi and Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann to win the award.

With the Ballon D’Or once again separate from the FIFA World Player of the Year award, Ronaldo is expected to win that award when it is announced on January 9.

Football don spoil finish. Only two players winning ballon d'or in 9 years.

Congrats Ronaldo. Messi made you a better player and thankfully you beat him to being the best

I am a barca fan, but it's a truly deserved award, he worked hard both at club and country level. Congrats to him.

For d past 9 years, this award has been between Messi and Ronaldo. Aren't there other footballers? It's too predictable, next year, it'll be either of them again. Even at their age.

They're both good.

Lionel Messi is still the best player for me.

Ronaldo is a football beast.

He leads and other follow.

Proud Hala Madrista

He deserves it, but messi is priceless

Ronaldo- 824 games, 567 goals, 189 assists
Messi- 666 games, 532 goals, 223 assists

Decide for yourself. However, there are other stats like chances created, accurate through balls, long balls completed. This is what matters

Congrats Egbon...

Great, that my man c7
