It has been revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo failed to receive any votes as his former Real Madrid teammate Karim Benzema stormed to victory at the recent Ballon d'Or ceremony.
Ronaldo, who has endured a rotten week with Manchester United after storming off during the midweek win over Tottenham, has previously won the prestigious award on five separate occasions. Only Lionel Messi (seven) has won the award more than Ronaldo - but the Portuguese superstar has not lifted the illustrious trophy since 2017.
The 37-year-old finished 20th in this year's vote, which was won emphatically by Benzema. Former Liverpool striker Sadio Mane finished in second spot, but he was still some way behind Benzema, who notched up 300 more points than the Senegalese striker.
