Arsenal Legend Thierry Henry did the honours as he presented Cristiano Ronaldo with his 3rd Ballon d'Or award.

Henry slowly opened the envelope, slid out the piece of paper and announced the winner few moments ago as: 'Mr Cristiano Ronaldo'.

An emotional Ronaldo then went on to stage to receive the award.

He said:

"I can see my mother, my family. I would like to thank all those who voted for me. My coach, my fellow player, the President of my club.

"It's been an unforgettable year. To win this trophy, a trophy of this kind, is something unique and all I can say is I want to continue working as I have so far, trying to go on to more titles - individual and as a team - for my mother, my father who is up there looking at there any my son."

Ronaldo continued.. 

"I want to get better as the days go by. I want to say to all the Portuguese that I never thought I could win this trophy on three different occasions. Of course it is something that is always with me, I want to become one of the greatest players of all time, and this requires a lot so I would like to thank you for all this evening."

This is Ronaldo's 2nd Ballon d'Or award in a row and his 3rd of all time. His closest rivals were Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer.

Congrats Ron. Well deserved.
