Real Madrid attacker Cristiano Ronaldo has won the 2014 FIFA Ballon d'Or ahead of Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and Barcelona forward Lionel Messi, scooping up the prestigious individual award for the third time in his career.

在2014年國際足聯（FIFA）年度頒獎盛典上，皇馬前鋒克里斯蒂亞諾·羅納爾多( Cristiano Ronaldo)力壓拜仁門將曼努埃爾·諾伊爾（Manuel Neuer)和巴薩前鋒萊昂內爾·梅西（Lionel Messi），贏得個人職業生涯中的第三座金球獎。

Ronaldo enjoyed a hugely successful 2014, in which he guided Madrid to Champions League glory by netting a record 17 goals in one campaign.

C羅的事業在2014年大放異彩，他帶領皇馬稱霸歐洲冠軍聯賽，并攻入17粒進球，創造了新的單賽季歐冠進球紀錄。

Additionally, the prolific attacker played an integral part in the Santiago Bernabeu side's Copa del Rey win by netting three goals in six appearances, even if he missed the final against Barcelona due to injury.

此外，皇馬在圣地亞哥-伯納烏球場主場奪得國王杯冠軍的比賽中，這位超級前鋒的表現亦可圈可點，他六次出場收獲三粒進球，但最終因傷無緣決賽，錯過了與巴薩的對決。

On an individual level, the 29-year-old won the Liga top-scorer award by scoring 31 goals in 30 appearances, which also saw him crowned joint-winner of the European Golden Shoe together with Luis Suarez.

在個人榮譽方面，這位29歲的球星以30次出場、31粒進球的戰績，將西甲聯賽最佳射手獎收入囊中，同時還與蘇亞雷斯（Luis Suarez）并列獲得歐洲金靴獎。

Ronaldo becomes the seventh player in history to successfully defend his Ballon d'Or title after Johan Cruyff, Kevin Keegan, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Michel Platini, Marco van Basten and Messi.

C羅也成為歷史上第七位蟬聯金球獎的球員，此前獲此殊榮的有約翰·克魯伊夫(Johan Cruyff)、凱文·基岡(Kevin Keegan)、魯梅尼格(Karl-Heinz Rummenigge)、普拉蒂尼(Michel Platini)、范巴斯滕(Marco van Basten)和梅西。

The Portugal international was first voted the world's best in 2008, when he pipped Messi and Fernando Torres to the coveted trophy. He then had to settle for second spot in 2009, 2011 and 2012 before winning the award a second time in 2013, this time ahead of Messi and Franck Ribery.

在2008年，這位葡萄牙國腳首次獲評世界最佳球員。同年，C羅擊敗梅西和費爾南多·托雷斯(Fernando Torres)，得到了球員夢寐以求的金球獎。此后，他在2009，2011和2012年的角逐中一直處于第二，直到2013年超過梅西和里貝里(Franck Ribery)，再次捧得獎杯。

The former Manchester United star has moved level with Cruyff, Platini and Van Basten on three wins, with only Messi ahead of him on four Ballon d'Or trophies.

這位前曼聯球星已經追平了克魯伊夫、普拉蒂尼和范巴斯滕三次加冕金球獎的戰績，僅次于梅西四次獲獎的紀錄。

Neuer missed out on the chance to become the first goalkeeper to win the award since Lev Yashin in 1963 as he had to settle for second spot after guiding Germany to World Cup glory and winning the Bundesliga title and DFB-Pokal with Bayern.?

2014年，諾伊爾幫助德國隊在巴西世界杯上奪冠，并帶領拜仁奪得了德甲聯賽和德國杯的冠軍，但還是與大獎擦肩而過，沒能成為繼1963年的列夫·雅辛（Lev Yashin）之后第一位獲得金球獎的門將。

Messi, meanwhile, made it to the podium for the seventh time in succession after he was crowned all-time top goalscorer of La Liga and the Champions League in 2014.

同時，梅西在去年包攬西甲和歐冠歷史最佳射手后，已經連續七次登臺接受頒獎。
