Christiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will both miss out on the Ballon d’Or award, it has been claimed.
Ronaldo and Messi, of Juventus and Barcelona respectively, have both won the Ballon d’Or between them every year since 2007.
However, journalist Eric Macruth – who works for French radio station RFI, claims both players have missed out on the award.
And it is Luka Modric, of Real Madrid, who will win the prize and end both Ronaldo and Messi’s dominance of the accolade.
“Exclusive #BallondOr: After counting half the votes, the head trio is as follows: 1) Modric 2) @raphaelvarane 3 @KMbappe. @xbarretfoot @RFIRadioFoot Info @RFIsports,” he tweeted.
