Cristiano Ronaldo osvojio Zlatnu loptu, Modrić tek 17.

Ono što je već neko vrijeme bilo više-manje poznato danas je dobilo i službenu potvrdu, Cristiano Ronaldo dobitnik je Zlatne lopte po izboru magazina France Football. Ronaldo je u 2016. godini zabio 102 gola u 110 nastupa za Real Madrid i portugalsku nogometnu reprezentaciju, s Kraljevskim klubom osvojio je Ligu prvaka, a s reprezentacijom Portugala Europsko prvenstvo.

Ovo mu je četvrta Zlatna lopta, približio se na korak do Lea Messija koji ih je dosad osvojio pet. Leo Messi na kraju je po broju glasova završio na drugom mjestu, a Antoine Griezmann na trećem.

Jedini hrvatski predstavnik na užoj listi, Luka Modrić, na čuđenje mnogih završio je tek na 17. mjestu.

Ronaldu je prije nekoliko dana uručena nagrada, evo i videa:

If Modric isn't in the top ten it essentially devalues the entire event. #BallonDor— Andrew Gaffney (@GaffneyVLC) December 12, 2016
