The Portugal international was in dazzling form last year as he helped Real Madrid lift the La Liga title, Champions League and Club World Cup.
The 32-year-old topped off 2017 by winning his fifth Ballon d’Or in December, taking his tally level with that of rival Lionel Messi.

“Honoured to be nominated for the 2017 Laureus Sportsman of the Year award,” Ronaldo wrote on Twitter.
