RONALDO WILL NOT BE ATTENDING 2018 BALLON D’OR CEREMONY BECAUSE HE’S NOT WINNING
Real Madrid’s Luka Modric and because of
this, Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo
will not attend the ceremony.
According to the Italian network, Cristiano finished the vote in second place with Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann coming in third. Out of the three, it would appear that only the Croatian will actually be at the glitzy awards in person.
The event takes place at the Grand Palais in Paris at 9:30pm CET. As well as the results for the men’s vote, the women’s award will be handed once again to Brazilian Marta, while the Kopa Trophy, for the best young player, will go to PSG’s Kylian Mbappe.
