Thiery Henry does the honours. He slowly opens the envelope, slides out the piece of paper and announces the winner as: 'Mr Cristiano Ronaldo'.
An emotional Ronaldo goes on to stage and receives the award.
He then says: 'I can see my mother, my family. I would like to thank all those who voted for me. My coach, my fellow player, the President of my club.
'It's been an unforgettable year. To win this trophy, a trophy of this kind, is something unique and all I can say is I want to continue working as I have so far, trying to go on to more titles - individual and as a team - for my mother, my father who is up there looking at there any my son.
'I want to get better as the days go by. I want to say to all the Portuguese that I never thought I could win this trophy on three different occasions. Of course it is something that is always with me, I want to become one of the greatest players of all time, and this requires a lot so I would like to thank you for all this evening.'
