Cristiano Ronaldo, on Tuesday, in what was not a surprise to any living soul, was crowned the best player in European football for 2008. The 23 year old Portuguese becomes the fourth Manchester United player to land the Ballon d'Or. The others were Dennis Law (1964), Bobby Charlton (1966) and George Best (1968) .
Ronaldo pulled in an amazing 446 as he left his closest "challenger", Lionel Messi with 281 points. Liverpool's Fernando Torres was third.
It's of no use going over Cristiano Ronaldo's achievements this year and like I said earlier on, no one was surprised Ronaldo won this. I'm sure even his biggest critics would agree.
There's no doubting the fact that he'll be crowned the world football of the year in a few months.
Congratulations Ronaldo.
