Cristiano Ronaldo was named the world’s
best player at the inaugural Best FIFA Football Awards in Zurich.
Real Madrid and Portugal forward Ronaldo,
31, beat Barcelona’s Lionel Messi and Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann to
the prize.
Ronaldo also won the Ballon d’Or in
December, with both honours recognition for success in the Champions League
with Real Madrid and Euro 2016 with Portugal.
Carli Lloyd of the United States was named
the world’s best female player.
Leicester’s Claudio Ranieri was named best
men’s coach, ex-Germany boss Silvia Neid won the female coach award, while
Penang’s Mohd Faiz Subri received the Puskas award for the best goal of 2016.
Despite being on the shortlist for best
individual player, Griezmann did not make the best XI.
The line-up features five players from
Real Madrid, four from Barcelona, one from Juventus (Dani Alves, who was at
Barca for the first half of 2016) and one, Manuel Neuer, from Bayern Munich.
