France Football readers have voted Cristiano Ronaldo's 2008 season as the greatest of all time (BOAT), placing it ahead of Lionel Messi's 2012 campaign in a recent poll.

The Portuguese forward's 2008 triumph, which included a Premier League title, Champions League victory, and his first Ballon d'Or, received the most votes in the magazine's "Best of All Time" (BOAT) survey.

Messi's 2012 season, during which he scored a record 91 goals in a calendar year, finished second in the voting.

The results were published by France Football on Wednesday.
