Cristiano Ronaldo: 'I'm the Best Player in History,' 'Have Always Thought That'

Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has said that he is the "best player in history" after winning his fifth Ballon d'Or on Thursday.

Ronaldo picked up the award for the second year in a row to equal the record of Barcelona star Lionel Messi, and he said he does not believe any player is better than him.

"There’s no player more complete than me.
