Fifa Ballon d'Or - Lionel Messi wins record fifth Ballon d'Or

Leo Messi  wins the Ballon d'Or for a record fifth  time shrugging of  comepetition from Christiana Ronaldo and Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior.

Though it was widely anticipated that Messi would win but the order of  outcome of the result was contray to most people expected .

Rather Ronaldo came second whilts  3rd  goes to Neymar in the following sequence

1 - Messi, 2 - Ronaldo, 3 - Neymar.
Neymar had 7% of the vote, Ronaldo had 27%. Messi had 41.33% exactly.

Interestingly Ronaldo voted for teammates Karim Benzema, James Rodriguez and - yes, honestly - Gareth Bale as his picks. Maybe he does rate him, after all.
Gareth Bale doesn't get a vote because he's not captain. At least he'll be happy with that nomination from his Real Madrid friend - Chris Coleman and Ashley Williams both selected Bale as their number one choice.

Over in camp Messi, it went pretty much how you'd expect - although I am slightly surprised that Luis Suarez is ahead of Neymar in his voting. 1 - Luis Suarez, 2 - Neymar and 3 - Andres Iniesta. 

The highlight of the event is illutrated below
