The Portugal international raised no eyebrows in taking the award once again, but there was plenty of debate over whether he really deserved to be honoured or Griezmann/Messi.
It’s official: Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has been crowned the latest winner of France Football‘s prestigious Ballon d’Or title for the fourth time in his career.
There was little doubt over who would be crowned in 2016, a year in which the star led Real Madrid to their 11th Champions League title and also won Euro 2016 with Portugal.
But inevitably, the decision sparked a vibrant debate on Twitter, with social media users flocking to pass judgement on the new Ballon d’Or holder.
Wins 3 trophies, scores 55 goals and 17 assists and people still say Ronaldo doesn't deserve the Ballon D'or— Ryan (@RyanMcN97) December 12, 2016
Imagine playing awful for the last 6 months, an awful euros performance wise… And still winning player of year? Ronaldo shouldn't have won— Percival Graves (@jxmielannister) December 12, 2016
