On Wednesday evening, Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo won the honorary title of the best player to win the “Golden Ball” award in the past 70 years.
France Football magazine awarded the first award in 1956 to the Englishman Stanley Matthews.
The source revealed that the electronic poll he organized resulted in Ronaldo topping the list, with the award he won in 2008. His traditional Argentine rival, Lionel Messi, came in second place, with his award for 2012.
What is noteworthy is that the two players continued to “monopolize” the next ranks until the 13th place, which went to the Brazilian Ronaldo (the phenomenon), and his award for the year 2002.
