Cristiano Ronaldo has won UEFA's award as the best player
in Europe last season after scoring a record 17 goals in the Champions League.
The Real Madrid and Portugal forward beat Bayern Munich
pair Manuel Neuer of Germany and the Netherlands' Arjen Robben.
The voting was by journalists from UEFA's 54 member
countries at the Champions League groups draw event.
Ronaldo also ensured Portugal qualified for the World Cup
by scoring a memorable hat trick in a playoff win against Sweden.
Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Franck Ribery previously
won the award first presented in 2011.
