Since 2008, only Messi (one Ballon d'Or in 2009; four FIFA Ballon d'Ors in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2015) and Ronaldo (two Ballon d'Ors in 2008 and 2016; two FIFA Ballon d'Ors in 2013 and 2014) have been awarded either top prize. Orlando City's Kaka, in 2007, was the last to pick it up outside the duo after guiding AC Milan to the Champions League that year.

Asked what the future held for him, Ronaldo said: "I still have motivation, I want to continue like this for a number of years, you never know what tomorrow brings, but at the moment I still feel motivated, I have strength to try and win more trophies for my club and more individual awards, which is more difficult with age, but I feel well.

"We have to think that everything is possible in football, but my feeling is that in the next few years, either with me or without me, the team will have this winning mentality, to try and win European championships and World Cups. It's very difficult but I think it's possible."

Also on Monday, Ronaldo and Messi were both named to the FIFPro World11 team, but Griezmann was left out as nine of the spots went to players from Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Ronaldo said: "It's no accident that I was included in the best team of the world, this says everything about my sacrifice and fighting spirit."

Leicester City's Claudio Ranieri won the Best FIFA Men's Coach of the Year award, beating Portugal's Fernando Santos and Real Madrid's Zinedine Zidane on the shortlist, while Germany's Silvia Neid received the women's honour.

Mohd Faiz Subri won the Puskas Award for the best goal of the year with nearly 60 percent of the vote, for his free kick in the Malaysian Super League.

Colombia's Atletico Nacional were awarded the FIFA Fair Play award for asking the Copa Sudamericana be awarded to their opponents Chapecoense following the club's air tragedy.

The First FIFA fan award was chosen by fans and was made to supporters of Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund, who joined in singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" before a Europa League quarterfinal.
