Twitter reacts as Cristiano Ronaldo wins the The Best FIFA men's player of the year 2016

Cristiano Ronaldo made it two out of two in terms of the most coveted individual awards for 2016 as the Portuguese was named the best player in the world in the FIFA poll for the award.

Ronaldo has had an incredible 2016. He took home the UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid, an unprecedented Euro 2016 triumph with Portugal as well. He also managed to cap off the year with a club world cup win where scored a hat-trick.

Antoine Griezmann and Lionel Messi were the other two nominees for the award but did not manage to beat the forward to the award.

What better way to crown your achievement by taunting your biggest rival. That’s CR7 for you:

Cristiano: "I am sorry that some people from Barca are not here but that's understandable." #TheBestHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Brendan hits his mark once again!

I'm sat here seething just wondering how I haven't won FIFA coach of the year.It's almost like a 19 point lead in the SPFL means nothing.

Poor Griezmann. He seems Manchester United-bound now for sure.

Cheeky, very Cheeky...

Messi and Ronaldo have always been very different people but they have one thing in common. When they win awards they mention Barca players.
