Cristiano Ronaldo has won World Soccer's World Player of the Year award following his phenomenal achievements for club and country in 2016.

The 31-year-old lifted the European Championship trophy as Portugal captain in July, just two months after playing a starring role in Real Madrid's Champions League triumph.

Leicester City have also been honoured for their sensational 2015-16 Premier League season, scooping two World Soccer awards. A panel of 100 journalists and pundits chose the English champions as Team of the Year and Claudio Ranieri as Manager of the Year.
