Touching moment as Cristiano Ronaldo wins Fifa Ballon dOr after stellar year at Real Madrid Cristiano Ronaldo has won the Fifa Ballon dOr for the second time after a stellar year. The Real Madrid forward was emotional as he collected his award and thanked his team-mates for their support. First of all I have to say a great thanks to all of my team-mates with the club and the national team, he said. Without all of their efforts this would not have been possible. I am very happy, it is very difficult to win this award. Everybody that has been involved with me on a personal level I have to thank. My wife, my friends, my son. It is a tremendously emotional moment. All I can say is thank you to everybody that has been involved. Scoring at a ratio of over a goal a game, he became the quickest Real Madrid player to reach 200 goals for the club and signed a new deal at the Bernabéu in what was a sensational 2013 for the 28-year-old. He also scored in both legs of Madrids Champions League tie against his former side Manchester United but could not help his compatriot José Mourinho capture any silverware in his final year at the club. Ronaldo won the 2008 Ballon dOr for his performances as a Manchester United player but since then has seen his great rival Lionel Messi walk off with the prize four years in a row while he has finished as a runner-up three times. youtube/watch?v=cy3TlTERRE8
