Cristiano Ronaldo’s 2008 Ballon d’Or-winning season has been voted the greatest in the history of the award in a fan poll organised by France Football.

The Portuguese forward’s outstanding performances for Manchester United during the 2007/08 season helped him secure the prestigious individual honour and establish himself among the world’s leading footballers.

Ronaldo won the inaugural Ballon d’Or of All Time (B.O.A.T.) fan vote, finishing ahead of other memorable Ballon d’Or-winning campaigns, including Lionel Messi’s remarkable 2012 season.

Ronaldo’s Outstanding 2007/08 Season

Ronaldo enjoyed an exceptional campaign with Manchester United in the 2007/08 season, scoring 42 goals in 49 appearances across all competitions.

His goals played a major role in Manchester United’s success as the club won both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.

Ronaldo also finished as the Champions League’s top scorer with eight goals, further underlining his importance to the team.

His performances earned him the 2008 Ballon d’Or, making him the first Manchester United player to receive the award since George Best in 1968.

Messi’s 2012 Season Finishes Second

The B.O.A.T. fan vote also recognised other outstanding individual campaigns in football history.

Lionel Messi’s 2012 Ballon d’Or-winning season finished second, while Ronaldo’s 2017 campaign placed third, according to published results.

The ranking reflects fans’ appreciation of the players’ achievements during their respective seasons. However, it represents a fan poll rather than an official declaration of the greatest football season of all time.

Another Milestone in Ronaldo’s Career

Ronaldo’s 2008 achievement remains a significant moment in his career. He went on to win the Ballon d’Or five times, building a remarkable record of individual success in world football.

His rivalry with Messi has also become one of the defining stories of modern football, with both players collecting numerous individual awards and team honours throughout their careers.

The recognition of Ronaldo’s 2008 season highlights the lasting impact of his performances at Manchester United and the importance of that campaign in shaping his legacy.
