And what a year Ronaldo has had, playing an integral part in Real Madrid’s Champions League  triumph over rivals Atletico in May,in which he scored the winning spot kick.

Then in July he won the European Championship with Portugal – though he did have to make to with barking orders from the touchline after suffering injury early on in the final win over France.

The ‘Vitorias’ boots feature a Pure Platinum upper, with a metallic gold plate on the bottom to signify Ronaldo’s trophies. The word ‘Vitorias’ is on the heel in gold letters, which translates as Portuguese for ‘Victories’.

Ronaldo, who could not attend the awards in Paris because he is in Yokohama, Japan, for Los Blancos’ Club World Cup semi-final against Club America: “I never imagined winning this trophy four times. I’m really happy and fulfilled.

“When it’s the first time the emotion is always special. But I feel today like I did in 2008.
“I have the opportunity to thank all of my team-mates, the national team, Real Madrid, all of the people who helped me to win this individual award."
