Cristiano Ronaldo is World Soccer's Player of the Year 2013

Cristiano Ronaldo keeps gathering prizes that recognise his great performance this year. This time, our striker has been awarded the World Soccer's Player of the Year 2013, just in front of Leo Messi and Franck Ribéry. As with the FourFourTwo award that Cristiano also received, this is a good prediction of what could be happening in the Ballon d'Or gala, since the winner of this prize has always won the Ballon d'Or since 2005, except for the 2010 edition. Anyway, this is a great honour for Ronaldo, and so we are happy for him.

Congratulations, Cristiano!
