The magazine "People" chose the top ten best-looking athletes in the world. At the top is Real Madrid forward, Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo.

His team is 8 points behind the first-placed Barcelona in Spain. The Portuguese national team failed to defeat the Gabon national team in a friendly match on Wednesday (the match ended in a 2-2 draw), but C. Ronaldo still has reasons to be happy, according to goal.com.

The footballer received the most votes in the "People" magazine's poll for the sexiest athlete of the previous year.

Among the sexiest athletes in the world are also tennis player Andy Murray, swimmer Ryan Lochte, basketball player LeBron James, and American football player Tim Tebow.
