Awww…success is truly good. The oscars of football – FIFA Ballon d’Or Award went down in Zurich, Switzerland yesterday.
And for the first time since moving to Real Madrid, Christiano Ronaldo won the award.
Beating Barcelona’s Lionel Messi who has won the award 4 consecutive times, and Franck Ribery. Both players were also short-listed for the award which recognizes the best player of the previous year,

Portugal’s 4-2 (aggregate) World Cup Play-off win over Sweden, to ensure
his country’s place at this year’s World Cup in Brazil.
