Cristiano Ronaldo has said he is aiming for seventh FIFA Best Footballer award.
After winning both La Liga and the Champions League last season, Ronaldo received the award for second time in a row last night in London.
The Portugal captain has scored 44 goals in just 48 games for club and country so far this calendar year, including two in a 4-1 Champions League final win over Juventus in Cardiff on June 3.
Ronaldo beat competition from Barcelona rival Lionel Messi and Paris Saint-Germain’s Neymar, to be crowned king again.
He said, “I want seven. Five is good but seven is my lucky number so seven would be great.
“Thanks a lot for voting for me,” added Ronaldo after receiving his trophy from Argentina great Diego Maradona and Brazil’s Ronaldo at the London Palladium theatre.
“I mention Leo and Neymar, great to be here. Real Madrid supporters, my team-mates, my coach, they all support me all year.
“We are in England for the first time and I win consecutive awards,” he added. “This is a great moment for me. I have fans all over the world.”
