Cristiano Ronaldo Wins Special 'Ballon d’Or Of All Time' Award
Cristiano Ronaldo has been voted the winner of the special 'Ballon d’Or Of All Time' (B.O.A.T.) award, celebrating his 2008 performance with Manchester United.
According to Khaosod Online Thailand, Portuguese football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has been awarded the 'Ballon d’Or Of All Time' (B.O.A.T.) title. This special recognition was organized by 'France Football' magazine to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Ballon d’Or. The award was determined through a public vote where fans paid 1 Euro to select the greatest season from legends who have won the Ballon d’Or at least twice. Ronaldo’s 2008 season, during which he helped Manchester United secure both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League titles while scoring 42 goals, earned him the top spot with 5,009 votes. This specific performance also marked his first-ever Ballon d’Or win. It is important to note that the B.O.A.T. is not an official Ballon d’Or award but rather a celebratory event. For residents and football enthusiasts in Thailand, this news highlights the enduring global popularity of European football legends. While the voting results are clear, the event serves as a retrospective celebration rather than a change in official football records. Further details regarding the full list of nominees and the specific breakdown of the voting process remain available through the organizers.
