Cristiano Ronaldo won the 2013 Ballon D'Or for the 2nd time in his career again, ending his rival, Lionel Messi's 4-year Ballon D'Or run. For 4 years, he lived under the shadows of Messi's success and now that he has won the Ballon D'Or, he couldn't be more happier.
2009 was the last time that Ronaldo won the Ballon D'Or. See, one of the things that made the 2013 Ballon D'Or so special for Ronaldo is that he finally won it "again" after getting beaten up by Messi each year, which really knocked him off. Also, Ronaldo's hat trick against Sweden during last year's decisive World Cup playoff is the one that stood out as 2013's most definining moment in the world of soccer.
As a fan of Ronaldo, I hope he wins back-to-back Ballon D'Or's for 2014 & outperform Messi again.

Appropriate final post. I will admit he's definitely in the Top 2 in the world - but he's still a cry baby to me. Haha.
