And here are the final tallies, according to Bayern Munich:
Ronaldo - 1365
Messi - 1205
Ribery - 1127

Ronaldo explains why exactly it was all just too much for him in the end.

"I saw my mother. She was crying. I tried to control myself but I cried, too. My first Ballon d'Or was huge, but this one was more emotional because I was in front of my mother and my child.

"But I feel really happy to win the Ballon d'Or and I share this award with Real Madrid.

"If the people gave it to me, it is probably because I deserve it. But Messi or Ribery deserved the Ballon d'Or too. It's just that I won it."

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, “I think that whoever scored a goal like that would deserve a trophy for it. Yes, it was in a friendly game but it’s a goal that will remain in history.

"People will remember it for a long time and players will try to emulate it, but I am the one who scored it and I’m very happy. It's a perfect thing."
