Ballon d’Or chief, Vincent Garcia, has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo now abstains from voting.
Garcia also seemed to suggest that Ronaldo is among those “very upset” with award rulings.
The Portuguese superstar has won the award five times in the past, only second to Lionel Messi who has eight.
Garcia told The Times: “Winners have the right to come back to all future ceremonies but they don’t all come, some are very upset with us.
“I don’t know for certain Cristiano is, I don’t talk to him directly, but I know for example that former winners vote for the Kopa Trophy – for the best young player – and Cristiano didn’t vote last year and he didn’t vote this year either.”
