Cristiano Ronaldo, the first player ever to win all four main PFA and FWA awards in 2007, and being the first player to ever win the European Golden Shoe award in two different championships, has won the FIFA Ballon d’Or award for 2013, ending Lionel Messi’s four-year run as the world’s best player.
The Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is considered a superstar of modern soccer. He is a key player in the Portuguese National Team, Real Madrid, and his previous team Manchester United. He is a savvy, arrogant goal scoring machine that has been compared to the likes to Lionel Messi, Maradona, and David Beckham. It is clear that he will continue to strive in the soccer world for years to come.
Ronaldo scored 69 goals for Real Madrid and Portugal last year, and his stunning hat trick against Sweden in a decisive World Cup playoff was perhaps the defining individual performance.
He defeated Barcelona’s Messi and France winger Franck Ribery, who helped Bayern Munich to a sweep of major titles. Voting was done by national team captains and coaches, plus selected journalists, in FIFA’s 209 member countries.
