Cristiano Ronaldo's anger at Ballon d'Or

Alves reveals Cristiano Ronaldo's anger at Ballon d'Or snub

One of Cristiano Ronaldo’s international colleagues says the Juventus superstar was furious about missing out on the 2018 Ballon d’Or.

Ronaldo has won the prestigious gong five times before but he lost out to his former Real Madrid team-mate Luka Modrić in December.

The 34-year-old was reportedly so disappointed by the decision that he didn’t even attend the ceremony, and his compatriot Bruno Alves has given an insight into what was going through his mind at the time.

Ronaldo and Alves came up against each other when the Bianconeri were held to a 3-3 draw by Parma last weekend, and the 37-year-old centre back was recently linked with a move to Inter during the January transfer window.
