The Real Madrid and Portugal forward won the award for the third time last night, taking 37.66% of the vote. Lionel Messi came second with 15.76%, just ahead of Manuel Neuer on 15.72%.
All three made the FIFA team of the year, but the major shock there was the inclusion of David 'seven goals conceded against Germany' Luiz at centre half. What where they thinking?
Roy Hodgson has come in for some flak too after leaving Ronaldo and Messi out of his top three. The England coach went instead for a bit of defensive solidity with Javier Mascherano, Phillip Lahm and Manuel Neuer as his picks. Says a lot.
And the Puskas Award, or goal of the year, went to James Rodriguez for this effort.
Robin van Persie was sure it was his though...
