Griezmann.
Ronaldo had previously lifted
the prestigious prize in 2008, 2013 and 2014. In the year under review, Ronaldo won the Champions League with Real Madrid before captaining his country to European Championship glory in France.
Lioniel Messi came behind Ronaldo as he helped Barcelona win a domestic double last season but his dream of leading Argentina to a major
international title was dashed by a penalty-shootout loss to Chile in the final of the Copa America.
As for third-placed Griezmann, the 24-year- old attacker fired both Atletico Madrid and France to the finals of the Champions League and Euro 2016, respectively, but he suffered defeats on both occasions.
Ronaldo having already finished
top of the Goal 50 and now claimed another Ballon d'Or, he is set to complete a hat-trick of individual honours for 2016 when FIFA announces the winner of its Best Player award in January.
