Real Madrid's Portugal striker Cristiano Ronaldo was crowned the best soccer player in the world for the second year running at FIFA's The Best awards gala on Monday.
The four-time Ballon d'Or winner won a La Liga and Champions League double with the Madrid club this year, striking twice against Juventus in the European Cup final to help Real become the first team to retain the trophy in its current format.
Ronaldo on his achievement:
"Great achievement. I feel so proud, it takes many hours of work and dedication. To be on this stage 11 times it's a lot. Thank you to people who are voting me."
