As expected, Cristiano Ronaldo claimed his fourth
Ballon d'Or on Monday, beating Lionel Messi and
Antoine Griezmann to the accolade.
Ronaldo added to his 2008, 2013 and 2014 awards
after a stellar 2016 for club and country, winning
the Champions League and Euro 2016 with Real
Madrid and Portugal respectively.
Messi, a five-time winner of the gong, was unable
to add to his haul despite helping Barcelona retain
their LaLiga title in 2015-16.
Griezmann's impressive performances with Atletico
Madrid and, in particular, France helped him to
make the podium, while Messi's Barca colleagues
Luis Suarez and Neymar were fourth and fifth
respectively.
