Cristiano Ronaldo was named 'The Best FIFA Men’s Player' for 2016. The Portuguese international won the Euro 2016 with the national side and was also part of the Real Madrid team that won the UEFA Champions League. He scored 16 goals for his club in the victorious campaign.
Cristiano Ronaldo said winning FIFA's Best Men's Player for 2016 "shows that people aren't blind" after beating Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann to claim the prize in Zurich on Monday.
Ronaldo, who picked up his fourth Ballon d'Or in December, also landed the first separate FIFA prize since world football's governing body and France Football announced in September that they would be presenting two separate awards.
This is the 4th time CR7 has been named the player of the year. FIFA President Gianni Infantino presented the award to Ronaldo.
Lionel Messi & Antoine Griezmann were the other contenders for the award.
