Ronaldo honoured by former Ballon d'Or winners at Bernabeu

Real Madrid fans turned the Santiago Bernabeu gold before Saturday's LaLiga match against Granada as Cristiano Ronaldo was honoured for his fourth Ballon d'Or triumph.

Ronaldo scooped the most coveted individual gong in world football last month on the back of Madrid's march to Champions League glory and Portugal's Euro 2016 triumph.

Supporters held up sheets of gold paper as the teams entered the field on Saturday, with Ronaldo's four Ballon d'Or trophies laid out on a table.

Ronaldo took his place beside them for a short ceremony, where he was greeted by previous winners and ex-Madrid stars Raymond Kopa, Michael Owen, Luis Figo and former Brazil striker Ronaldo.
