Ronaldo was honoured at the Globe Soccer Awards, as he picked up no fewer than three gongs. He won the Best Middle East Player prize, the Maradona Award for the best goalscorer in 2023, and the Fans' Favourite Player of the Year award.
Elsewhere, Erling Haaland, Jude Bellingham, and Aitana Bonmati all picked up prizes. Bellingham won the Powerhouse Emerging Player award, Bonmati won the Best Women's Player award, and Haaland was awarded the Best Men's Player award, seemingly in a snub to Messi.
