It is the 28-year-old’s first Ballon d’Or win since 2008, and he couldn’t have been more appreciative of the award.
The Portuguese captain took his young son on stage with him to receive the trophy from Brazil legend Pele and FIFA president Sepp Blatter, and could barely get his words out, such was the overwhelming emotion of the event.
