Cristiano Ronaldo has been awarded the Ballon d'Or for a third time at a ceremony in Zurich.
The Real Madrid superstar topped a poll of journalists, international coaches and captains for the second year running and is now within one win of equalling rival Lionel Messi's four awards.
Ronaldo received 37.66 per cent of all votes, while Barcelona's Messi just pipped Manuel Neuer to second place, with 15.76 per cent compared to 15.72 per cent for Germany's World Cup-winning goalkeeper.
The Portuguese forward first won the Ballon d'Or in 2008, two years before it was merged with FIFA's World Player of the Year award to become the FIFA Ballon d'Or.



The voting for the Ballon d'Or has been revealed and once again it was full of tactical voting, with the two front runners, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, not picking the other in their top three. Voting was made by the captain and coach of each Fifa nation, as well as one journalist from each country. As both Ronaldo (Portugal) and Messi (Argentina) captain their nations, they each got a vote. The Real Madrid superstar, eventual winner of the award for the second year in a row, made it clear who his friends in football were, giving all three votes to Real Madrid team-mates who were never going to challenge him for the gong.
Similarly Messi went for his team-mates; former Real Madrid man Angel Di Maria, now at Manchester United, was first, Barcelona stalwart Andres Iniesta was second and Javier Mascherano was third.
