The Portugal captain beat Barcelona forward Lionel Messi and Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to the award.
The three candidates for the Ballon d'Or were all picked in the team of
the year, along with defenders Philipp Lahm, David Luiz, Thiago Silva
and Sergio Ramos, midfielders Andres Iniesta, Toni Kroos and Angel Di
Maria and forward Arjen Robben.
Cristiano Ronaldo
successfully defended his world player of the year status
convincingly with 37.66% of all votes, winning for a third time.
Barcelona and Argentina counterpart Lionel Messi - who won four years in
a row until Ronaldo beat him last year, was second on 15.76%. He was
narrowly ahead of Bayern Munich and Germany keeper Manuel Neuer, who had
15.72%.
Ronaldo, who scored 52 goals in 43 games during 2014,
looked emotional when collecting the award from former France, Barcelona
and Arsenal striker Thierry Henry.
The 29-year-old said: "I would like to thank all of
those who voted for me, my president, my coach and Real Madrid. It has
been an unforgettable year. To win this trophy at the end of it is
something incredibly unique."
