Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo was just named 2008 World Footballer of the Year. The award was announced earlier today, December 1, 2008. Ronaldo was definitely the favorite to receive the Ballon d'Or, with his remarkable performance last season. 42 goals in one season, as a winger too, helping his team win the Premier League and the Champions League. Lionel Messi comes in second and Fernando Torres gets third.
At age 23, Ronaldo should be able to improve even further, and he could be the best player in the world not just for a year, but for his whole career. Lets just hope he doesn't get too much into it and stay grounded and most importantly not make stupid decisions (like leaving United) that can end his career.
Manchester United is currently 3rd in the Barclay's Premier League, behind current leaders Liverpool and Chelsea, 6 and 5 points respectively but United has one game in hand.
Congrats Ron, nobody could have deserved it more than you. This season hasn't shape up to be as it was last season but you had an injury and you're still doing better than most players. Just keep your head in the game and you'll be fine...
