The votes are in and the winner of the Ballon d’Or announced in Zurich on Monday night, is Cristiano Ronaldo
Ronaldo beat the 2 other major competitors who also performed pretty well in the 2013-2013 season.
The goals scored figures continue to astound for both La Liga players. Messi’s 42 is an outrageous return of just less than a goal per game, but even that was eclipsed by Ronaldo’s absurd 66 goals from 56 appearances.
But Ronaldo’s goal tally came from a total of 396 shots. Messi scored 14 fewer but did so from only 146 attempts on goal, which were more than 5 per cent more accurate than his rival.
Ribéry, a player whose main strengths are in other areas, trailed both by a significant margin with a still-creditable 22 goals, but he does bost more accurate shooting than the two that play in Spain.
