FIFA: A double for Cristiano Ronaldo!

Winner of the 2016 Ballon d'Or, Cristiano Ronaldo was also voted best player of the year by FIFA. A new reward expected for the Portuguese forward of Real Madrid, winner of the Champions League, Euro 2016 and the World Championships.
Again, there was no suspense before the FIFA ceremony on Monday night in Zurich. Unsurprisingly, Cristiano Ronaldo (31) was voted best player of the year 2016. Still Ronaldo ... A new distinction that could not escape him after his titles in the Champions League, Euro 2016 and World Cup Of clubs. The Real Madrid forward is ahead of the other two finalists Lionel Messi (29) and Antoine Griezmann (25). Like what, the voting system does not change the name of the winner. Unlike the distinction awarded by France Football, "The Best" is not based solely on the choices of journalists. This time, the votes of the coaches and captains of the world selections as well as those of the Net surfers were also taken into account. Proof that the Portuguese put (almost) everyone in agreement in 2016.

Ranieri best coach

And the evening of the Madrilene would have been even more beautiful if his coach Zinedine Zidane had been acclaimed. But it was the manager of Leicester City Claudio Ranieri who raised the trophy. The Italian obviously was rewarded for his title of champion of England last season, a huge feat for the Foxes.

Griezmann in the best eleven

Anyway, the Merengues have no complaints since they are widely represented in the FIFA eleven with Sergio Ramos, Marcelo, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and so Ronaldo. It should be noted that Griezmann is not in this typical team whose tip is occupied by Barcelona FC striker Luis Sarez.
