His great rival Lionel Messi has won the prize on two occasions and could pave the way for him to capture a fifth Ballon d'Or title."There are the same goals every year, to meet the same challenges, win everything if possible, qualify for the World Cup with my national team," said Ronaldo. "This trophy will give me the motivation to keep working hard, never to give up. I am blessed and delighted to be with Real Madrid."
Thanks to my teammates, coaches and staff who helped me win this trophy. I dedicate this to my family, friends and fans. This is also yours! pic.twitter.com/f9CIPyuYnX
