Christiano Ronaldo win Ballon d'Or award 2016

Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo beat rival Lionel Messi to win the prestigious Ballon d'Or award, 2016 for a fourth time. The 31-year-old Portuguese is now one behind Barcelona's Messi, who took the honour for a fifth time last year. 

Ronaldo helped Real Madrid win last season's Champions League and scored three



goals as Portugal won Euro 2016. He has now won the Ballon d'Or in 2008, 2013, 2014 and 2016, with Messi the only other recipient of the award since winning it for the first time in 2009. Atletico Madrid's French forward Antoine Griezmann finished third in the vote.
