LAGOS, Nigeria – World Footballer of the Year, Cristiano Ronaldo is a footballer in his own class. He is perhaps the only footballer to have won FIFA World Footballer of the year for a record five time. He first won it in the year 2008 when he was playing for Manchester United and lost the crown until 2013 when he returned to claim the crown.
He retained it the following year 2014 and lost to his closest rival, Lionel Messi of Argentina until 2016 when he won it again under the club Real Madrid and retained for the year 2017.
So far he has won it for a record 5 times, while his closest rival Lionel Messi has won it 4 times. Football buffs have attributed his strength to dedication to training and hardwork.
The Portuguese whose home team crashed out at the 2018 FIFA World Cup showcased his training session at a special gym at his club in Real Madrid.
