Cristiano Ronaldo has won the The Best FIFA Mens
Player of 2016 Award
Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has been
named the world's best player at the inaugural Best
FIFA Football Awards in Zurich.
The award comes off the back of Ronaldo winning
the 61st edition of the Ballon d'Or in December
following a stellar year which saw him achieve
Champions League and Euro 2016 success with Real
Madrid and Portugal.
Ronaldo has already won four Ballon d'Or's
Ronaldo beat Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Atletico
Madrid's Antoine Griezmann to clinch the prize on
Monday.
"Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. It's incredible. I want to
thank my team-mates of Real Madrid and the coach,"
said Ronaldo upon picking up his award.
"Thanks for everything you have done for me. I must
thank my family and my whole staff for everything
they have given me. 2016 was the best year of my
career.
Ronaldo's main rival Lionel Messi was not at the
event, nor were any of his Barca team-mates due to
team commitments
"I had a lot of doubts, but at the end of it the
trophies speak for themselves. They show I've lived
up to the expectations and I achieved the best I
could.
"This achievement is incredible. I will never forget
this year. I'm really happy."
Ronaldo had earlier been named in the FIFPro World
11, while Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri claimed
the FIFA Coach of the Year award.
