Cristiano Ronaldo has won the Golden Foot award. The Portuguese and Juventus striker, 35, had another standout season with Juventus winning the Serie A title as well as grabbing the top goalscorer award, the Capocannoniere.
Despite Messi winning more Balon d'Or awards than Ronaldo, the Barcelona star has never won the Golden Foot award, which is awarded for active players over the age of 28 and can only be won by a recipient once in their career.
Ronaldo becomes the 17th recipient of the Golden Foot award, which was introduced in 2003.
A dapper Ronaldo was pictured placed his feet in cement and left his signature in the concrete as part of the award tradition.
In a post to Instagram, Ronaldo wrote: 'I am honored to win the Golden Foot award and to be immortalized on the Champion Promenade in Monaco, together with some of the greatest football legends of all time!
'I am truly humbled and want to thank the fans all over the world for having voted for me'
