The Portuguese forward's hat trick against Sevilla was not enough to prevent Barcelona returning to the top of the AP's team rankings, with the Spanish league leader scoring six.
Soeren-Mikael Hansen of Denmark's Politiken newspaper said the hat trick was a message to Ronaldo's old team.
"Even though Barcelona performed best as a team, Cristiano Ronaldo must take the top spot individually," Hansen said. "Scoring three goals sent a serious warning to United."
Ronaldo, who faces Manchester United in the Champions League on Wednesday, received 183 points out of a possible 200 in the poll of 20 global soccer journalists.
