#1. Fifth Ballon d'Or
There have been some epic comebacks in football. Belgium's recent 3-2 win over Japan, Barcelona's extraordinary 6-1 demolition of PSG to overturn a 4 goals deficit and Liverpool's Istanbul miracle were a few astonishing comebacks. However, the greatest comeback ever is Ronaldo's individual comeback against his arch Ballon d'Or rival Lionel Messi.

The Sporting Lisbon prodigy had just 1 Ballon D’or when Messi won his fourth in 2012. Ronaldo then came back spectacularly from 3 awards down to equal his rival Messi's figures. He won the award in 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017 to make it 5 all.
En-route to his fifth award, Ronaldo took Madrid to their 12th Champions League title and their first La Liga since 2012. He had a stellar year as he scored 42 goals for Real in all competitions after helping Portugal win the Euro 2016.
