Cristiano Ronaldo finalizó fuera del top cinco en la premiación al Balón de Oro de este año realizado en París.

Pese a las críticas de horas antes por parte del portugués a la revista France Football -organizadora del premio- por una publicación, las votaciones lo dejaron muy lejos de las posiciones principales.
