Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the Best Player in Europe by UEFA for the second time ahead of Antoine Griezmann and Real Madrid team-mate Gareth Bale.
Ronaldo was favourite for the award having led Real Madrid to their 11th Champions League win in 2015-16, scoring the winning penalty in a dramatic shootout against rivals Atletico Madrid.
The 31-year-old previously won the award for the 2013-14 season and he joins Barcelona rival Lionel Messi in winning the honour on a second occasion.
“It’s a great honour and thanks to the journalists for voting for me!” Ronaldo told UEFA.
“My team-mates are the key – they are the key every year. I work hard myself but without the help of my team-mates this would not be possible.
“Thanks to my team-mates from Real Madrid and Portugal.
“I have to mention Portugal because it was the first in their history. It was different because I’ve won the Champions League three times. To win something with Portugal was the highlight of my career.”
