Cristiano Ronaldo wins fifth Ballon d’Or Award

Cristiano Ronaldo on Thursday capped the last month in year 2017 with one of football’s most-priced awards as he became the winner of the Ballon d’Or Award for the fifth time.

The Portuguese has now caught up with his fierce rival, Lionel Messi, who also has won the prestigious award on five occasions. Ronaldo won his first Ballon d’Or in 2008 and had to wait for five years before winning again in 2013.

The Portuguese star won again in 2014 while Messi took it back in 2015 before it returned to the Real Madrid star in 2016 and the latest one coming in 2017.
