Cristiano Ronaldo just had to refer to Barcelona at FIFA awards gala...

Cristiano Ronaldo could not avoid referring to Barcelona during his speech as he picked up the FIFA The Best award for the best player in 2016.
As expected the Real Madrid player won the prize and delivered a speech. He said: "I am very happy. I want to thank my team-mates, my coach, my family and my 'staff'. WHat I want to say most is that 2016 was the best year of my career. I had a lot of doubts but people are not blind and they saw that, after what I won with my club and country, I had no doubt that I would win."
His final words were directed to Barcelona and the players who decided to snub the FIFA gala - Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Gerard Pique and Andres Iniesta. "I would have liked that the Barcelona players were here, but they aren't. It's understandable. They have the cup," he said with an ironic smile.
