For the second time in a
row and third time overall, Portugal and Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo
was crowned as the best player on the planet after an incredible season
that included the UEFA Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup for
Real Madrid.
Cristiano became the first Portuguese player to achieve the biggest
award 3 times in his career, beating fellow nominees Lionel Messi and
Manuel Neuer to this year’s award.
Cristiano’s brilliant 2014 included
31 goals in 30 matches in Spain's La Liga - a haul that saw him finish
as the 2013/14 top scorer - as well as a record 17 goals in the 2013/14
UEFA Champions League campaign.
