Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the world's best male player at the 2017 Best Fifa Football Awards in London. Ronaldo wins the award for the fourth time in five years. That’s five awards apiece for him and Messi, the Argentinian’s golden period came when he won four in a row between 2009 and 2012.
The Real Madrid and Portugal forward beat Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Paris St-Germain's Neymar to the honour.
Ronaldo, 32, helped Real to a Champions League-La Liga double in 2016-17.
It has been another hugely impressive year for Ronaldo, who won the inaugural Best Fifa Football Awards gong on the back of leading Portugal to victory at Euro 2016.
This year he scored two goals in Real's 4-1 win over Juventus in the Champions League final and also found the net 25 times in 29 appearances as his club won La Liga for the first time in five years.
"We are in England for the first time, and I win it for the second consecutive time. This is a great moment for me," Ronaldo told the awards ceremony.
Other winners:
Lieke Martens of Barcelona and the Netherlands won best female player while Real Madrid's Zinedine Zidane was named best men's coach and Netherlands' Sarina Wiegman the best female coach.
