The Portuguese superstar was voted the best player
in the world once again - edging out Lionel Messi and Neymar.
Ronaldo
won his first prize in 2008 before successes in 2013, 2014 and 2016.
He
received the award at a glitzy ceremony up the Eiffel Tower on Thursday
evening.
Tottenham
striker Harry Kane was the highest-placed Premier League player as he came in
10th.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been presented
with special Nike boots following his fifth Ballon d’Or success.
The
Portuguese claimed the award ahead of Lionel Messi and Neymar at a ceremony
in Paris on Thursday.
In
celebration of his latest achievement, Nike presented him with the special
Mercurial Superfly CR7 Quinto Triunfo boots.
The
predominantly gold boots feature CR7 on the heel counter and include the years
of his previous awards from 2008, 2013, 2014, 2016.
Ronaldo
will wear the boots on the pitch with 1000 pairs available later this month.
“Another dream come
true. Unbelievable feeling. Thanks to my family, friends, teammates, coaches
and everyone that stood by my side throughout the years”
“I hope to play at this level for a few more years, I hope the
battle with Messi continues, things happen for a reason.
I feel good this season and we’ll see what we win at the end of
the year.
Neymar has a lot of talent, a lot of potential, and I’m sure
he’ll have some chance to win in the future.”
