Cristiano Ronaldo won the Best Player of the year at the Globe Soccer awards and said he hoped the honour was a good sign that he will win the Ballon d'Or.
Along with Lionel Messi and Manuel Neuer, Ronaldo is one of three finalists for FIFA's top individual honour, which will be revealed next month.
But Ronaldo said he was pleased with the Globe Soccer award as well, and credited his teammates at Real Madrid, who dominated the ceremony and also won club of the year in Monday's ceremony in Dubai.
"I hope that it's a good sign [for the Ballon d'Or], but I'm not worried about that," Ronaldo said. "The people who vote already have. I just feel happy it's one more trophy for my dedication and hard work.
"I want to say thank you to the people at Real Madrid, the players, the coach. We had a fantastic season, we won four trophies and we're one of the best sides in the world. To win this award is a great pleasure, I am very proud."
"I don't have pressure because these things come naturally to me, I don't have to prove anything to anyone, my football talks for me on the pitch.
"I am happy. I do what I like [doing], playing football, scoring goals, assisting and helping to show we are one of the best teams in the world. La Decima was one of the special moments of the season, as Real Madrid had been after it for a long time."
Ronaldo also won the fans' favourite award.
"We play for the fans. Thank you to the fans for always supporting me. I'll try to give them my best on the pitch," he said.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti was named Best Media Attraction in football; James Rodriguez won Best Revelation Player, and Florentino Perez won Best President.
