Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the Fifa World Player of the Year while Zinedine Zidane was named Best Coach.

Ronaldo also won the award in 2016.

Ronaldo received 43.16% of the total vote, reflecting a year in which he won a Champions League and La Liga double with Real Madrid.

Ronaldo was asked how much longer he can continue his current level of greatness.

“I don’t know, I just enjoy the moment, the moment is great. I feel happy, I’m 32 and have won best player in the world and I’m so glad. I don’t know what’s going to happen in the next year. I just try to focus on the moment.”
