Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo has won the FIFA Ballon d'Or award for 2013. He scored 69 goals for his team and Portugal his country last year. This ends Lionel Messi's 4yr run as the world's best player.
"There are no words to describe this moment," said Ronaldo, as he sobs in tears after he accepted the trophy with his son Cristiano Jr by his side on stage.
He defeated Barcelona's Messi and France winger Franck Ribery, who helped Bayern Munich to a sweep of major titles. Voting was done by national team captains and coaches, plus selected journalists, in FIFA's 209 member countries. The trophy was presented to him by great Pele of Brazil who first paused and smiled before he read out his name. He kissed his girlfriend, model Irina Shayk, before going up to the stage.
