Ronaldo wins Ballon d'Or

 Real Madrid Midfielder Cristiano Ronaldo won the 2013 FIFA Ballon d'Or award, an award given to the years best player. Ronaldo beat out FC Barcelona Midfielder Lionel Messi for the award, and although many say Ronaldo only won the award because Messi was injury-riddled in '13, that was not the case. Ronaldo won the award because he was simply better than Messi.
