Cristiano Ronaldo scoops award after missing out on Best FIFA Men’s Player crown

Cristiano Ronaldo saw his record of two Best FIFA Men's Player awards matched by long-term rival Lionel Messi on Monday night, but the 38-year-ol picked up a gong of his own elsewhere.

The former Manchester United forward is now plying his trade with Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Nassr after his controversial Old Trafford exit just before the World Cup. As expected, Ronaldo is making light work of the Saudi Pro League and has eight goals to his name in just five appearances.
