Ronaldo won the Prince Henry Award


Ronaldo just gets the Portugal's top honor,before that Ronaldo just won the golden ball, which Messi was been awarded to Messi in the last four years. Ronaldo was awarded a medal and ribbon making him an official of the Order of Prince Henry at a formal ceremony in Lisbon's presidential palace.

"Winning the World Cup is a dream,” Ronaldo said. “It would be the peak of my career.” President Anibal Cavaco Silva said Ronaldo deserved the recognition because he “brings prestige for Portugal around the world.” As well as his natural talent, Ronaldo is an example for younger generations, Cavaco Silva said, because of his “hard work, discipline, determination and will to win.”

Ronaldo said it was “a moment of great pride” that gave him “the motivation to keep working, and even harder in the future.”
“I look upon football as fun,” the 28-year-old Ronaldo said. “There’s a while to go before I retire, and I want to win more trophies at club and national level.”

Ronaldo just won the gold ball while Ribery is a little unhappy about the result. Bayern Munich star Franck Ribery has blasted the voting system for the FIFA Ballon d'Or and claimed that he was more deserving of the award than winner Cristiano Ronaldo because he won five trophies in 2013, while the Real Madrid star did not win any.
