Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo won the European Footballer of the Year Award in Paris on Monday.
The 23-year-old Portuguese star is the first from his country to win the coveted ‘Ballon D’Or’ award since Luis Figo in 2000.
His award - which he has widely spoken about having said in the last week that not only is he the best footballer in the world but also the second and third best - comes on the back of exceptional performances for his club side last season.
He scored a remarkable 42 times in 49 matches as United secured a memorable league and European Cup double.
Spaniard Fernando Torres was also in contention after scoring many great goals for Liverpool in the Premiership and the only goal in the Euro 2008 final against Germany.

Ronaldo deserve this award but he is not good as Messi because he was just lucky to score 42 goals and should not be counted among the world greatest player. so pls man united fan should stop cratisied Messi because is 100 percent better then their ronaldo.
You said he deserves this award, and this award is the most prestigious award in Europe. Cristiano won that award, so it means he’s the best player in europe. And messi plays in Europe. So what does this mean? It means ronaldo is better than messi, you bastard. And what did you say, he was lucky to score 42 goals? What are you, leader of the anti-ronaldo organisation? Ronaldo is all about skill, not luck. Also, nobody criticised Messi. -.-
Ronaldo is a labourius person he always work hard so he got that award there is no any words like “lucky or destiny”‘. If he play same way than he can get more than now ok …..
I LOVE MANCHESTER UNITED, IWANT TO REGISTER
