With Real Madrid on the other side of the world to France Football's Paris headquarters at the time of the 2016 Ballon d'Or announcement, Cristiano Ronaldo was presented with a slightly makeshift trophy on the day.
The media duties surrounding his victory were dealt with the week before Los Blancos' trip to Japan and as such Sergio Ramos presented a replica of the trophy to his teammate in Yokohama.
Club president Florentino Perez also congratulated Ronaldo after he posed with the cake that was lovingly crafted for him.
"Congratulations, my friend, 2016 was your year," wrote Ramos on Twitter.
