Ronaldinho crowned once more
"Ronaldinho was named FIFA's world player of the year for the second successive season as Frank Lampard had to settle for second place. Barcelona's brilliant Brazilian, who was also named European footballer of the year last month, becomes only the third player to win the world award twice. Ronaldinho's team-mate Samuel Eto'o finished third."
Ronaldinho, 25, joins the ranks of Real Madrid players Zinedine Zidane (1998 and 2003) and Ronaldo (1996, 1997 and 2002) as those who have won the FIFA award more than once.
The top 10 were:
1. Ronaldinho (Barcelona)
2. Lampard (Chelsea)
3. Eto'o (Barcelona)
4. Henry (Arsenal)
5. Adriano (Inter)
6. Shevchenko (AC Milan)
7. Gerrard (Liverpool)
8. Kaka (AC Milan)
9. Maldini (AC Milan)
10. Drogba (Chelsea)
