On 6 December 2010, FIFA and France Football magazine announced the three finalists for the inaugural FIFA Ballon d'Or. And all three were from Barcelona.
They announced their shortlist of 23 players on 27 October, then culled the list to the top three vote-getters on 6 December. The three were Barcelona's Xavi, Andres Iniesta, and Lionel Messi, who had won both the Ballon d'Or and the FIFA World Player of the Year award in 2009. Although Barcelona had won La Liga in 2010, the inclusion of Xavi and Iniesta was due in part to their World Cup-winning run with Spain the previous summer. But Messi went on to win the award when it was announced in January 2011.
It was not the first time that a single club took the top three spots in Ballon d'Or voting: AC Milan did it in 1988, when Marco van Basten beat out Ruud Gullit and Frank Rijkaard, then again in 1989, when van Basten won it again, that time over Rijkaard and Franco Baresi.

if Messi didn't deserve the ballon D, or in 2010 then c.Ronaldo didn't deserve it in 2018
If you’re comparing C.Ronaldo’s 2018 season with Sneijder & Messi’s 2010 season i would still pick Sneijder over Messi & C.Ronaldo and 2nd C.Ronaldo 3rd Messi. By the way there was no real contender in 2018 that could beat C.Ronaldo in 2018 Ballon D’or race. For a moment if i agree with you that C.Ronaldo didn’t deserved to win the Ballon D’or in 2018 then tell my for what reason C.Ronaldo didn’t won the UEFA POTY trophy? Modric was good at WC but WC is under Fifa, in UEFA competitions C.Ronaldo was way better than Modric. Why they chooses Modric over C.Ronaldo for the award?

It’s all about titles... you can’t accept the fact .... fifa plays dirty politics.... and Messi is very clever... he will never use harsh words.. keep on praising others ...that’s why he wins with vote ... But Cr7 is different... he is straight forward person ,and it’s not that necessary to win as a corrupt awards like ballon D’or to be the best .... we saw his achievements...Uefa nations league,serie A and copa italia... but the award is given to just Laliga winner ..[Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh]

If it's ballon dor is corrupt then ur cRY had been a corrupt when he was winning. besides if ballon dor is based on titles then it should be given to the whole team coz he didn't win it alone.. Period

2010 if you think Messi deserved the Ballon D’or and Iniesta & Xavi deserved to be in top 3 you must see a doctor as soon as possible. Sneijder won the treble that season with remarkable World Cup performance with 6 goals as a midfielder. Lead his team to the final, won the League title and won the champions League as well, he also won the World cup golden ball for his performance. But still didn’t even finished in top 3. This directly shows how big clubs use their power in football. If it was Messi who won the Treble, world cup golden ball and scored 6 goals in WC but finished not even in top 3 at Ballon D’or ranking. Barca fans would have launched an potion for taking back the Ballon D’or and give it to Messi. Now many will come with the topic that Ribbery deserved to won the Ballon D’or in 2013. I agree he deserved but C.Ronaldo also deserved to won the Ballon D’or in 2018.

By vote , it’s difficult win against Messi because of his simplicity and Cr7 doesn’t know how to give kind talks, Cr7 is direct and straightforward so you will hardly win by voting .
you guys are blind...you don't see the playing abilities and their contribution ...messi took barca upto this level and his game is consistent..you guys only look at the trophies ...winning trophy and playing best is different...and ballonder is for players performance...

Send me the link of C.Ronaldo’s 2013 all goals and see how many were tapins. One more thing, train your keepers and Defenders to stop at least C.Ronaldo’s tap ins first then expect stunners.

Bro It's a fact Messi and CR7 won 1 extra trophy but individually they were the best that year. Anyways anyone can defend any Balandor winner but it would be impossible to explain to anyone how Modric was the best last year. I don't know how can people defend it.

2013 ..ribbery should have won ..I'm not here for an argument ..Ronaldo has absolutely no trophies at all...ribbery won 5 trophies including a trebble that year ..he was good individually as well .... if you look individually Ronaldo was better ..but in 2017 ..Messi was by far the best individually ..messi 54 goals and 20 + assists in 2016/17 season ..ronaldo only had 42 goals and 7-8 assist. .but he won UCL and euro that season ..euro he did not play the finals ..so 2013 Ronaldo won for individual performance...2017 Ronaldo won for trophies ..double standard ...

There is no point to discuss. It's so old what point to argue. CR7 also won in 2014. But i think Modric was the only Balandor winner which is very diffcult to digest by neutral fan.
