Speaking after receiving the award on Monday, the ex-Manchester United forward said he believes he is the best whenever he is on the football pitch.

“I always believe and say that I am the best, whatever they say, and then I show it in the field,” he said.

“On a personal and collective level I have had a dream year. I won five trophies (Champions League, UEFA Supercup, World Club Cup, Spanish league title and the Spanish Supercup), the Ballon D’Or and the FIFA ‘Best’ title.”

“I am grateful for this award to all those who are here, it is also an award for all my colleagues; 2017 was an excellent year, unforgettable both collectively and individually,” said Ronaldo, who beat Rui Patricio of Sporting Lisbon and Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva
