Ronaldo, Messi Did Not Vote For Each Other – See Full Ballon d’Or Result Sheet

On Monday, at a gala held in Zurich, Cristiano Ronaldo was crowned the 2013 Ballon d’Or winner. The Portuguese maestro, beat Barcelona’s Lionel Messi and Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery to the award.

Ronaldo clinched his second World Best Player award, thanks to votes from coaches, national team captains and a media representative of FIFA member nations.
