Giorgio Chiellini claims Juventus teammate Cristiano Ronaldo “was robbed of the Ballon d’Or last year, as Real Madrid wanted to stop him winning.”

The trophy went to Real Madrid and Croatia midfielder Luka Modric in 2018, while this evening the winner was Barcelona star Lionel Messi.

Ronaldo skipped the ceremony for two years running after learning he would not be holding the golden globe aloft.

Asked about the decisions, Chiellini made some remarkable comments on Sky Sport Italia.

d'Or last season, when Real Madrid decided to make sure he couldn't win it and that was really weird,” said the defender.

“This season, it was more balanced. With all due respect, Modric even in his best season of his career didn't deserve it. That was a signal from Real Madrid, as they wanted to stop Ronaldo winning it.

“He won the Champions League, but by that logic, (Liverpool defender Virgil) Van Dijk should've won it this year, or last year (Antoine) Griezmann, (Paul) Pogba or (Kylian) Mbappe for doing extraordinary things at the World Cup. Modric made no sense.”

Cristiano Ronaldo won the Ballon d’Or on five occasions, while Messi now has six.

I started playing Chellini as a character in real football 2006

You are right on point Cheillini!

Luca Modric in his best season couldn't win the Balon Dor.

Real Madrid keeps fighting CR7....Though still a conspiracy theory!

Lolźzzz.... So who robbed him dis tym also, Inter Milan? All dis jus to soothe his bloated ego...

"Claims".

That's all he can do.

The reality is

No evidence....

Modric has something for you:

But foolish Ronaldo fans are blaming Messi that came 5th for Ronaldo loss of Ballon D'or last year?


Even comparing stat of this year with Ronaldo stat.... Wetin con concern Messi?

Lalasticlala

Ronaldo will win it next year when Juve win the Champions league.

with that stupid sarri wey dey use bentacur, khedira, can, ahead of RAMSEY,PJANIC,RABIOT...very sloppy mildfield

World Cup golden ball is the reason why Modric was better than Ronaldo in 2018!!!

Modric to Cristiano:

Rinaldo will break more record and take home the next balon d'or

As for Modric, he is an ass licker

The truth is always bitter...I know all these messi fans won't like dis.

One love CR7..cus i know he's definitely gonna bottle dis then the truth will unfold.

And as for VVD I just hope u don't end up being a ''ONE SEASON'' niqqur

Wailers

Hahahaha. See Ronaldo face, lmao

How exactly ?
Ronaldo is good no doubt, but we all have to leave sentiments aside and agree to the fact that this year was just not his year,
Look at the statistics... Messi surpases him in all ramifications, so what then is the bases by which he would have won the Ballon d or ?

eni4real:
World Cup golden ball is the reason why Modric was better than Ronaldo in 2018!!!

Modric to Cristiano:

The message is also to Messi, he didn't attend last year's edition too....It goes both ways. Modric is one intelligent fucker.
Anyways, Madrid didn't influence sh*t, its just conspiracy theory.
Congratulations to Messi, its deserved.

Bitter People


the bitterness clouding Ronaldo, his family and freinds shows who he really is...

haba let Messi be na, everytime rigged , stolen and wailing like PDP

Nomination is based on your perfomance but Wining is based on votes of Professionals, if Ronaldo and his people keep rubishing peoples decission soon nobody would vote for him and he wouldnt even come 3rd

..

You are right Cheillini, just same way you helped Cannavaro robbed Zidane off in 2006 with that your useless stunt.

Oponu irare. Nonsense and headnaldo.
