		</div><p>Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to crown a memorable year by being named the world&#8217;s best player for a fourth time on Monday night.</p>
<p>The Ballon d&#8217;Or ceremony will be held in Paris while Ronaldo is thousands of miles away in Japan, ahead of Club World Cup duty for Real Madrid.</p>
<p>However, Ronaldo is expected to pick up the main award after a remarkable year even by his own high standards.</p>
<p>Real beat city rivals Atletico Madrid in May to become European champions for a record-extending 11th time, with Ronaldo once more playing a crucial role. Two months later Portugal triumphed at Euro 2016 in France to claim a major trophy for the first time.</p>
<p>Ronaldo has scored 48 goals in 52 games for club and country in 2016.</p>
<p>The 31-year-old has previously won the Ballon d&#8217;Or three times, the last in 2014 when it had been merged with the FIFA World Player of the Year accolade.</p>
<p>Ronaldo is expected to beat Antoine Griezmann and Lionel Messi to the award.</p>
<p>Griezmann finished as top scorer at Euro 2016, where Les Bleus were defeated by Portugal in the final, and also helped take Atletico to the Champions League final.</p>
<p>Messi, meanwhile, will be looking to repeat his success of 2015 when he again beat Ronaldo to the individual title, which was a fourth since 2010 and fifth overall.</p>
<p>The Argentinian playmaker, 29, helped guide Barcelona to another domestic league and cup double in 2015-16, scoring 41 goals in all competitions.</p>
