Real Madrid superstar
Cristiano Ronaldo wins
the 2013 FIFA Ballon
d'Or
The Portuguese forward's phenomenal 2013
secured him the crown ahead of Bayern
Munich's Franck Ribery and Barcelona's Lionel
Messi
Cristiano Ronaldo has been awarded the FIFA
Ballon d'Or following a string of sensational
performances in 2013.
The Portugal international skipper has held off
strong claims from both Franck Ribery and
four-time winner Lionel Messi to claim his
second Golden Ball .
Ronaldo, 28, had previously won the award in
2008, during his time with Manchester United.
He went into the ceremony in Zurich as an
astonishing best price 50-1 ON to claim the
prize, following a stunning year with Los
Blancos and the Portuguese national side.
He netted 66 goals in 56 games for club and
country last year, including five hat-tricks, one
of which came in Portugal's 4-2 (aggregate)
World Cup Play-off win over Sweden, to ensure
his country's place at this year's World Cup in
Brazil.
