OFFICIAL: Ronaldo wins Globe Soccer 2001-2020 Player of the Century award

Cristiano Ronaldo beats Leo Messi and Mohamed Salah to win the Globe Soccer Awards’ Player of the Century, while Bayern Munich’s Hans Flick has won the Coach of the Year award ahead of Gian Piero Gasperini.

The Juventus forward, a five-time Balon d'or winner, smiled on stage in Dubai as he was named the greatest football player from 2001 to 2020.

His latest trophy follows a successful for few weeks for the Portuguese talisman, after he was awarded the Golden Foot award, which was first introduced in 2003, for players aged 28 or above and can only be won by a recipient once in their career.

Despite only being 20 years into the current century, Ronaldo was not the only individual to be celebrated with an award spanning across the 100-year period.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola won the coach of the century award, following his emphatic reigns in charge of Barcelona and Bayern Munich before his move to the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes picked up one of the stranger accolades of the ceremony, with the agent of the century trophy.

Ronaldo's former club Real Madrid were labelled as the club of the century, after winning five Champions League titles and seven LaLiga's during the last 20 years.

Other award winners at the ceremony included Champions League winners Bayern Munich, who won the club of the year award for 2020.

The 35-year-old Ronaldo has shown no signs of ageing after he scored a huge 44 goals for club and country in 2020.

Only Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski scored more than the former Real Madrid and Manchester United attacker.

Ronaldo's rival Lionel Messi, who was snubbed at the awards ceremony, fell short of the pair with just 26 goals for Barcelona and Argentina this year.

The Old Lady's frontman has also been making a mark on a more domestic level, after he became just the fourth player in Serie A history to score at least 33 goals in a calendar year after finding the net twice against Parma on December 19.
Ronaldo scored once in each half to see Juventus win 4-0 and move level on points with Inter and one adrift of leaders AC Milan.

Ronaldo's contribution has equalled that of former Juventus forward Omar Sivori from 1961 - who scored the joint-third most goals in a single year behind Gunnar Nordahl in 1950 and Felice Borel in 1933.

Rubbish award.

Even girls and slay queens are entitled to vote.


Even Mohammed Salah got more votes than Messi.
Which means Salah is more of a player of the century than Messi.

Heheeheheheheehehe.

As far as this century is concerned C.Ronaldo remains the GOAT every other players are behind...

Ronaldo is the greatest football player from 2001 to 2020.

No be only objective and non biased.

An award that is voted strictly by fans!!!

Ronaldo technically has 70 million fans more than Messi.

Even girls are voting for that award.


Even Mohammed Salah had more votes than Messi in a so called player of the century.




Crap award.

Noticed this award is technically made for Ronaldo.... Even some years, they will create a new category just so he can win an award.


Also, his people also win this award, like agents, team and all.


If there's the best family category, his family will win


Go and check the list from 2009 or so, even the year that Ronaldo obviously didn't deserve it, they will give it to him or create a new category.


Messi won once (2015, I'm sure they would have still give Ronaldo this year as well), but this same year, they create a new category for 'Fans player of the year' just to give Ronaldo.

It's not Ballon dor

messi has been in Winning it, no big deal
