Cristiano Ronaldo has been announced as the winner of the 2016 Ballon d'Or, taking out the most prestigious individual prize in world football for the fourth time.

The former Sporting CP player won his first Ballon d'Or at Manchester United in 2008, before collecting the prize again at Madrid in 2013 and 2014.
